Award-winning nature photographer Jim Brandenburg gave himself a challenge: for 90 days between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice, he would take only one photograph each day. This volume is the result of that project. Through the accompanying essay Brandenburg shares his innermost thoughts and passions as he witnesses the cycle of nature near his home in the northwoods of Minnesota. In this paperback edition Brandenburg contributes new photographs and an epilogue that illustrates and discusses the devastating summer wind storm that wreaked havoc on the locations photographed for the original project.

The concept is simple, one photograph each day for 90 days. Only one shot. One chance to capture the essence of that one day. The exercise was designed to take the author, famed photographer Jim Brandenburg, back to the fundamentals of his craft; focus, light, study. He describes it as a self-assignment, something to sharpen his wits again. His subject was just outside his back door, the Minnesota North Woods.
What he has created in this inspiring book is nothing short of miraculous.
The images are stunningly beautiful and so completely natural and real, that I am transported into them. I can hear and smell them. The accompanying narrative adds dimension and texture without explaining too much.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature or photography, and certainly a must have for anyone who loves both! ( )
