Description Reviews

"Osborne shows us the region looking its very best. And Cannings, who once taught him zoology, provides learned commentary." -Vancouver Sun

"A gorgeous and enlightening photographic journey." -Globe & Mail

"Looking at [Graham's] eye-popping shots of waterfalls, ocean sunsets, and fog-laden rivers, you can't help but wonder if he doesn't whisper a little prayer of gratitude each day that he doesn't live in, say, Sarnia, Ontario. Some of Osborne's photos are almost too beautiful, edging into postcard territory." -Quill & Quire

"More than 100 of his large-format images grace this stunningly beautiful coffee-table book, each one a masterpiece of the colour photographer's art. They are united and enhanced by biologist Richard Cannings' sensitive descriptions of the various ecosystems that surround the views and wildlife depicted." -Canadian Book Reviews Annual

"This fine collection of images . . . celebrates the glorious scenery residents of the Vancouver area are privy to most any time they care to look. What makes a photographer exceptional, however, is the to see things in fresh ways and to technically translate that vision into an exposure and, ultimately, a print. Osborne clearly gets around (and up high), and succeeds in showing us how to see . . . Dick Cannings' typically evocative prose complements the visual feast." -Discovery: Vancouver's Natural History Society's Magazine

"Wanderlust doesn't have to be any further than your front door and Graham Osborne shows the way with this amazing collection of photographs all taken in the area stretching from Vancouver to the Southern Coast Mountains. Rich colour images show us sunsets that would rival anywhere in the world. Dynamic mountain ranges, lush forests, expansive ocean views and city scenes all come together to remind you what an incredible region we live in." -North Shore News
