\"Natural_Reflections_cover\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Winnipeg, Canada\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The launch of our book,\u00a0Natural Reflections,<\/em> took place this evening at McNally Robinson’s Booksellers in Winnipeg. I read select texts from the book’s five chapters, Mike<\/a> displayed a dozen enlarged photographic\u00a0prints (and provided back-story re: their creation), and we both answered questions from the standing-room-only audience who had gathered for the occasion. Fun!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier in the day,\u00a0I did a radio interview with\u00a0Marjorie Dowhos, host of CBC Manitoba’s ‘Radio Noon,’ and\u00a0Mike<\/a>\u00a0did an interview in French earlier CBC’s ‘Radio Canada’<\/p>\n

An inspiring and highly original book of photography takes the reader on an unforgettable walk through the vast and wide beauty of \u201cNatural Canada.\u201d Natural Reflections captures natural beauty from the exceptional viewpoint and unique perspective of Mike Grandmaison\u2019s lens.<\/span><\/p>\n

A singular gallery of images is curated, amplified and informed by the observations of Robert L. Peters. Filled with insightful musings, truisms and parallel quotations from some of the world\u2019s greatest thinkers, this book is bound to inspire and truly engage both halves of the brain. Divided into five contemplative chapters \u2013 On Inspiration, On Seeing, On Intimacy, On Order, On Change \u2013 this lavishly produced volume comprises a rich and seamless interweaving of image and word.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a book not to be missed by anyone interested in the natural world (and its preservation), the art of outdoor photography, the creative process or this vast land called Canada. The photographer and author, long-time friends and avid nature-lovers, share the humble view that, like a Mother, the Earth both bore us and sustains us, asking little in return but love and respect. This book is their reciprocal tribute and holistic offering.<\/span><\/p>\n

The book is available at McNally’s\u00a0and other\u00a0book-sellers worldwide (\u00a0ISBN-10:\u00a01771602546 \/\u00a0ISBN-13:\u00a0978-1771602549 ) as well as from online vendors such as Amazon<\/a> and Chapters<\/a>, etc…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
