Sierra Wings

Of all the places I’ve yet to explore in my life, one near the top of my most desired list is the Mono Lake Basin of California’s eastern Sierra. So when I received news that Marie Read, one of the most accomplished photographers of this area, has a new book from Graphic Arts Books titled Sierra Wings; Birds of the Mono Lake Basin, needless to say, I was very interested indeed.

With essays by David Winkler and Justin Hite accompanying Ms. Read’s photographs, this is a book from which I expect to learn much more about this fascinating and somewhat unearthly looking place – if, that is, I can tear my attention away from all the remarkable photos long enough to read it.
