Hi I just caught this message just as I was joining up. Just some info on the CANADA: Year of the Land
This book was produced to commerate Canada's Centennial. The executive producer was Lorraine Monk, a lady who did more for Canadian photographers to establish them as artists, was the founder of what is now the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography originally part of the National Film Board but now part of the National Gallery of Canada The art director was Allan Fleming, the first Canadian art director to receive the prestigious New York Art Director's award. He designed the famous CN logo. The photographers were some of Canada's finest landscape and nature photographers, including Freeman Patterson, Mary Ferguson, John de Visser. Originally the book was to be printed in an edition of 100, 000, but it became so popular that in subsequent years, many more editions were printed. The main criticism of the book, was that it didn't portray Canadians. Subsequently two other books were published in 1968, one in French and one in English, the French one was called (my copy) "Ces visages qui sont un pays" . If I recall correctly, there were minor difference in each. Lorrain Monk produced a third book in 1976, called "Between Friends" the official gift from Canada to the US for their 200th celebration. Again 25 of our best photographers were commissioned to document the vast border between our two countries. Just in case you wanted to know!. herb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
