asting Light brings readers into the hearts of great photographers as they devote years to seeing, really seeing, the Grand Canyon. Their images fill this book, and their stories bring to life their pictures from the 125 years that photographers have explored the Canyon. Stephen Trimble interviewed 21 of the finest contemporary Grand Canyon photographers, and these profiles bring to life the relationship between artist and landscape, between dedicated artists and an American icon they have helped to create. A fascinating narrative history of photography at Grand Canyon places these contemporary artists in context. Lasting Light celebrates what all of us learn every time we peer through a viewfinder at this enduring treasure we call Grand Canyon.

| "If ever a place was designed for the artist, it is the Grand Canyon. It has everything: the spectacular colors of Marble Canyon that attracted Philip Hyde, the plunging abyss of the South Rim that inspired Josef Muench, and the quiet river edges that caught the ever-watchful eye of Eliot Porter. Lasting Light captures all that splendor and successfully engages the reader in a quiet regard for the beauty and splendor and mystery of the universe. " |
| John Murray, The Bloomsbury Review |

| "The vast spaces and close confines of the Grand Canyon, from rim to canyon floor, are given their due in Lasting Light. This book, made all the more beautiful by author Stephen Trimble's words, is an homage complet to a much-loved space." |

| "...the Grand Canyon's luster is palpable in this oversize book. For a great lesson in landscape photography from the towering heights of the Grand Canyon, Lasting Light is worth the climb." |

|
| "This wonderful book is much more than a coffee-table collection of beautiful Grand Canyon scenes in splendid color. Trimble's historical narrative provides important background to contextualize these photographers wihin their changing times while the biographies and portfolios serve as mini-seminars with each artist." |
