Seven continents
Join physician and landscape photographer Mohan Bhasker on a round-the-world journey to some of Earth's most exquisite sites. Vicariously traverse a Laos jungle, kayak among Antarctica's icebergs, trek through Nepal's Himalayan mountain range and Brazil's scorching sand dunes, and come upon impossibly blue lagoons tucked into the rugged Argentine terrain. Interspersed with the images are adventure travel stories about close calls with nature, opportunities missed, serendipitous timing, and the payoff of persistence. The camera lens lingers on everything from pristine panoramas to quiet coves and closeups of penguin chicks. In a fifteen-year collection of more than 220 photographs, the author pays tribute to the beauty, history, and significance of some of the most remote places on Earth.

Landmark : the fields of landscape photography
Landscape photography has traveled far from its origins in the picturesque or pastoral. It is at the cutting edge of contemporary image-making with leading photographers creating work that transcends definitions of art or documentary. This is the first truly international survey of a vibrant, burgeoning field of photography, its masterful image-makers, and their work. William A. Ewing has selected more than 230 photographs by over 100 photographers, ranging from renowned figures such as Susan Derges, Edward Burtynsky, and Simon Norfolk, to younger rising stars including Pieter Hugo, Olaf Otto Becker, and Penelope Umbrico. Each of them represents an individual viewpoint of a shared concernfor our changing landscape and environment. Organized into ten themes Sublime; Pastoral; Artefacts; Rupture; Playground; Scar; Control; Enigma; Hallucination; and Reverie Landmark is an intelligent and poetic survey which captures a genre of photography to perfection.\"

Being in the Landscape with a Camera
Landscape is reportedly the most popular genre in South African art because it is so heavily encoded with political meaning and ideological implications. Ironically, landscape's popularity also stems from its offer of temporary respite from troubled socio-economic situations, resulting in over-representation by both artists and amateur photographers. While the ideological implications of photographing and representing landscapes have been widely critiqued and problemetised in post colonial and feminist writing, in this paper I will present a perspective on “being in the landscape with a camera” in terms of Edward Casey’s theories of landscape and body as well as Don Ihde and Peter Paul Verbeek’s theories of technologically mediated experience. The transcendence of the problematic duality of subject-object will be considered in relation to my experience of being in a place with the photographic representation thereof in mind. Through reflexive engagement with landscape photography practice and the implied perpetual re-evaluation of my own glance as a photographer, in this paper I will reconsider the notion of experience of place as a possible antidote to the ideological saturation of specifically Southern African landscape photography.

Fog at Hillingdon
While fog does not come easily or frequently to Central Texas, when it does, it inspires moments of quiet and reflection. David Langford captures those moments here in stirring images of the comings and goings of fog on Hillingdon Ranch, family land that has benefited from the stewardship of six generations. These photographs in turn inspired an essay by writer Rick Bass that takes him back to his own memories of fog—in the Texas Hill Country and elsewhere. Fog at Hillingdon includes a personal note by Langford on his techniques and camera equipment. Apt historic or contemporary quotations selected by Myrna Langford accompany many of the photographs and reflect the moods and sentiments fog often evokes.
