More great gift ideas for mom! This gift would please mom on a variety of levels. Does she appreciate the sometimes awesome beauty of nature? Does she like books? And does mom like to decorate her home with great finishing touches?
Then how about a coffee table book?
I’ve always had coffee table books in the living room, and it’s always a great thing to have when you have guests. They love to pick up the book and thumb through it, and for quieter people who just like to sit and soak in their surroundings, they love to have the book in hand.
Here is a great book to suggest:
Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography
One of the most photographed subjects on earth, Grand Canyon continues to inspire awe, admiration, and frustration for those who attempt to capture its majesty with a camera. Reaching back 125 years into the photographic record of the Canyon, this book artfully explores the experiences of the earliest photographers and today’s most exceptional artists.
Accomplished writer and Ansel Adams Award-winning photographer Stephen Trimble deftly navigates the stories of the Canyon’s photographic history and takes us down the river and along the rim with the next generation of photographers and their photographs. Also included are twenty-one essays by the finest contemporary photographers recounting their experiences at Grand Canyon, along with fascinating details of changing equipment and a timeline of important moments in the Canyon’s photographic record.
If you are interested in buying this book, or just finding out more info about it, you can find it online at amazon through this link here.
