"An ecologically minded collection of essays in the vein of Rebecca Solnit and Susan Sontag-covering everything from the equipment of photography to the difficulties of perception itself. In an age when most of us carry a device seemingly capable of freeze-framing the world, Benjamin Swett writes with refreshing clarity on the way of the true photographer. Combines cultural criticism with personal revelation to examine how the lived experience of photography can endow the mundane with meaning while bringing attention to the beauty of both the natural world and the world we build. Having photographed trees of Manhattan, Shaker dwellings, and the landscapes of upstate New York, award-winning photographer and writer Swett brings an ecological sensitivity to these expansive and profound meditations on how to document the world around us. Accompanied by nearly three dozen black-and-white photographs and illustrations, the essays take us from Coney Island in the early 70s to Paris and Prado at the turn of the last century. By turns literary criticism, art history, and memoir, they draw from writers such as Eric Sanderson, Max Frisch, and John Berger to uncover truths about a life spent in pursuit of art. In essays such as "The Picture Not Taken," "The Beauty of the Camera," and "My Father's Green Album" Swett gives us a picture of photography over generations and how we can or should relate to the mechanical devices so often fetishized by those interested in the subject. In "What I wanted to Tell You About the Wind" we understand photography's importance in understanding our place in larger environmental and social systems; and in "VR" and "Some Observations in the Galapagos" Swett challenges us to think through problems of perception and knowing central to the experience of photography, looking to the past and into our future for answers. Poignant and deftly crafted, The Picture Not Taken brings to mind the fearless ambition of Annie Dillard and the grand scope of Rebecca Solnit's Field Guide to Getting Lost. Swett's writing will appeal to readers who have enjoyed Geoff Dyer's work, and Susan Sontag's writing on photography"--

A fully illustrated account of the final battle for Berlin.

Grant's 1864 campaign to bring the war to an end employed an aggressive strategy to bring relentless pressure on Confederate forces in Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, and Georgia. Grant's efforts to destroy Lee's army in Virginia in a series of brutal battles fell short, but the campaign ultimately marked the beginning of the Confederacy's end.

Ball's Falls is a focal point to start hiking on the Bruce Trail. Plus, you can take in the historic buildings around Lower Ball's Falls.Actually, Ball's Falls is comprised of two falls. There is Lower Ball's Falls which is easy access to most people. And only a 15-to-20-minute hike, there is Upper Ball's Falls. The park is run by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. The property was originally owned by the Ball family. Manly Ball sold it to the Conservation Authority in 1962. I like the trails in this area because it's a part of the Bruce Trail; you don't have to trek the whole 550 miles of the Bruce Trail from Queenston Heights to Tobermory to enjoy a good hike. Lower Ball's Falls has old barns, a white pioneer church and a couple of pioneer cabins for the photographer's interest...and of course, there's the cascading Lower Ball's Falls itself, just a 5-minute walk across the road from the parking lot. Lower Ball's Falls is 90 feet high. Upper Ball's Falls is 35 feet high.The Twenty Mile Creek cuts through Ball's Falls, creating the second largest gorge in the Niagara Escarpment. It is designated as an Historical Park in the Niagara Escarpment Plan. The Park is restored and maintained by the Niagara Peninsula Conservations Authority. It's a great place to picnic and of course, to go hiking on the well-marked trails there. The Bruce Trail itself has trees along the path called "blazes". John Hartig, scenery photographer, hopes you enjoy his Photobook on Ball's Falls, a true gem in the Niagara Region. He collected a huge number of pictures of Ball's Falls and the Bruce Trail over the years because he lives in Vineland, just down the hill from Ball's Falls.

The usual position for taking photos by most people is straight ahead, maybe with a little crouch. Most people just point and shoot. The best they can do is imagine what a picture might look like framed like a painting.But what about with a little effort, you might take a picture of a flower from the bottom up? Lying down, or kneeling? Pointing upwards, so you catch a slice of the blue sky. How about the low perspective?Photographer, John Hartig, includes samples of his photos which were taken with that orientation in mind, from the bottom up, especially of his flowers. There are some interesting and noteworthy results which he is proud of."From the Bottom Up" is one of John's Photobook Series. John Hartig is a Canadian scenery photographer, who is known for the orientation, bright colours and paint worthy framing in his pictures. John's photos have been used by several painters to whom he has given permission to copy. John feels that art should be shared and passed on for others to emulate. Novice or professional, enjoy the tour of his photos!

Port Dalhousie is actually a suburb of St. Catharine's. This quaint little town is renowned for its 2 lighthouses, 2 piers, lots of sailboats...and of course, craft shops.Port Dalhousie hosts the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta inviting rowers from all over the world. This event has been happening for almost 100 years! The Port is a great place to picnic, to watch sailboats, bicycle, take long walks along the pier and photograph the two lighthouses there. There's also a great beach on the north side and a carousel for families with kids. The carousel might be on hold for a while because the town is undergoing renovations. It would be a shame to lose the carousel which has entertained families since 1921. The piers themselves are under construction. But don't worry; there is still lots to see while the town is getting a new facelift.John Hartig hopes you enjoy this Photobook of Port Dalhousie, a labour of love which shows some of the choice photos of the Port that John has gathered over the past two decades.

The Morningstar gristmill was built in 1872 to process wheat, oats, barley and rye. It is located above the Decew Falls at 2710 Decew Road in St. Catharine's. There are two main structures noticeable off the road: the red building which is the maintenance building and the beige stone gristmill itself.There's a little park for picnicking before you get to the gristmill. The property also has a turbine shed, the miller's house in the back, the icehouse, the sawmill and the barn. There's a blacksmith's shop in the barn. It should be noted that the gristmill and the miller's house are heritage sites."Friends of Morningstar Mill" are volunteers that keep the grounds and the gristmill operating for tourists and school groups. These volunteers started reconstruction of the gristmill in the year 2000.Now the mill is the only water powered gristmill in the entire Niagara Peninsula. The mill is officially open from May 1 until Thanksgiving weekend.School tours can be arranged for a Tuesday or Thursday, by phoning Gary Konkle 905-384-2530.Wedding photography can also be arranged by phoning "The Recreation and Community Services Office of St. Catharine's" at 905-688-5601 ext. 1925.

Scenery photographer John Hartig's two favourite seasons for pictures are Autumn and Spring. Spring because of the emerging life and colour, the flowers, the orchards, the birds and the sun. Autumn because of the dying colours, the splendid hanging onto life, going out in a colourful blaze of glory, and again the warming sun before winter blows in. I love taking pictures during these times of year.John lives in the Niagara Region, known for its orchards in springtime and its flowers. Autumn too makes its colourful presence felt by the time October comes around, again with magnificent browns, reds and yellows.John doesn't ignore Winter and Summer. In Winter I wear my heavy jacket and snuggle my camera inside my coat ready for the next snowy picture. In Summer, I am inspired by the greenery and the heat of the sun and often sit in the back yard or near a bright beach watching boats go by and children play in the sand.Even with the comfort of the warmth, I anticipate autumn and its magnificent change of colours to reds, greens, yellows and browns. Then there is only the Winter to sleep through, so I can awaken for more picture-taking in Spring for another bout of beautiful flower and orchard photos. It's grand to be alive during this digital age when the camera can do so much! Autumn and Spring are indeed my favourite seasons for "John's Photobook Series".

Niagara-on-the-Lake is often described as the prettiest town in Ontario. In fact, it was voted so in 1996. It is a historical site, having been settled at the close of the American Revolution by Loyalists coming to Upper Canada [Ontario] to start a new life as British subjects.Now-a-days, the town is buzzing with lots of things to see and do for tourists and locals alike. There's Fort George, an actual fort from the War of 1812 [which was fought against the Americans]; there's the Shaw Festival, the marina, the golf course, picnic areas, resplendent huge houses [especially along the Niagara Parkway] and several world-famous wineries. There are also great bed and breakfasts, restaurants, hotels, craft shops galore and places to walk along the river, or if you prefer to travel in style, you can ride in the horse-drawn carriages, usually parked in front of the Prince of Wales Hotel.Photographer, John Hartig, has explored Niagara-on-the-Lake with his camera and created another of his John's Photobook Series, showing his love of what the Niagara Peninsula offers in terms of scenery.

The Niagara Peninsula with all its wineries and orchards is a pretty area in which to live, especially for a scenery photo-buff like me. I've put in a lot of mileage over the past 20 years during my spring and autumn photo jaunts.

This beautiful and inspirational portrait of a country garden shows how its owners created deep connections to the natural world with techniques and advice any gardener can use. In 2018, photographers Susann Probst and Yannic Schon left Berlin for the German countryside with the aim of growing wholesome produce whilst maintaining a healthy ecosystem through sustainable farming. They bought an old farmhouse on a plot of land with room for a vegetable garden, an orchard, a wildflower meadow, and a greenhouse.Filled with useful and hard-won information that is the result of both ingenuity and trial-and-error, this book takes readers on a detailed and exquisitely illustrated tour of the property and its development over its first five years. Susann and Yannic share what they've learned about garden design, soil composition, beneficial organisms, so-called pests, edible perennials, plant care, and self-sufficiency, and include a listing of all the species and varieties they've planted. A breathtaking photographic section celebrates the beauty of the land through the seasons.More than a garden-variety gardening guide, this deeply personal and gorgeously produced book documents a lifelong dream becoming a reality--and celebrates a contemporary approach to country life that will speak to anyone looking for ways to deepen their own relationship with nature.
