The Extraordinary Landscape: Aerial Photographs of America

Once in a lifetime, one comes across a book that defies one's wildest imagination. This book by William Garnett is one of them. He just about spent his life photographing from a single engine plane that for the most part he piloted. His knowledge of light, nature, exposure, color, timing, and composition is perhaps the best I've ever seen in my life. Not a single photographer in my mind even comes close to him. Anyone who is proud of the American landscape should have this book so that he or she can pass it to their children and grandchildren.
