I've never been to the Grand Canyon but it feels like an old friend after this foray through photographs and words. I really loved the shot biographies throughout about the photographers, learning about their thoughts and feelings about the Canyon in a way that gives added insight into their work. I really loved this and now want to visit the Grand Canyon more than ever.
