6.    Gudzowaty, Tomasz. Paradise Crossing. Yours
Photography, 2004. Printed in Switzerland, published
in Poland. World-renowned photographer and winner of
many prestigious prizes and awards, Tomasz Gudzowaty
chose as his subject here the unique gnu antelopes,
dwellers on the endless Serengeti plain. "Soon after
the last of the May rainstorms, the plain rapidly
changes into a dry and hostile wasteland. Migration
is the only way out. Following the evading rain, the
animal torrent flows eastward in the direction of 
Lake Victoria, and then to the north, to the Masai
Mara Reservation in Kenya, where the rift wall stops
the very last of rains. The grazing doesn't continue
for long. Soon comes the time to go back, to be on
time for the opening of a new season in Paradise."
Cattle disease imported from Europe in the early part
of the 20th century decimated the gnu population down
to a few thousand, but in the latter half of the century,
their population once more exceeded a million.
Gudzowaty expertly captures the excitement, danger
and the immensity of the gnu migration in 50 amazing
full-page photographs. Leafing through the book is
akin to watching a full-length documentary on film.

16-1/2"). The limited text in Polish and English.

Paul Kallmes, and Wendy M. Watson. Aperture, N.Y.
1999. 1st Edition. Tall 4 to. (abt. 12 x 11"), 144 pp.
"Weighed down by heavy, nineteenth-century camera
equipment, Vittorio Sella climbed some the world's
most mysterious, perilous peaks and photographed
them, many for the first time. His strikingly elegant
photographs, which in Ansel Adams's words, "revealed
(the mountains) in all their sheer majesty", established
groundbreaking scientific and documentary information as 
well. Climbers today still use Sella's pictures to map
out routes and to better comprehend the challenge in
store." "Through Sella's images, we witness the
grandeur of the Alps, the Caucasus, the Saint Elias
Range in Alaska, the Ruwenzori in Africa, and the
Himalayas. Sella's portfolio of K2 in the western
Himalayas is sthe definitive photographic study of
this mountain, considered to be the world's most
difficult and dangerous to climb." Dozens of
spectacular photos, including 2 four-page, fold-out
panorama views, all wonderfully reproduced here on
high-quality art paper (printed and bound in Italy).
