In his stunning photographs, John Isaac celebrates the people and landscape of Kashmir and the unique way of life that has developed there.Isaac set out to create a work that would honour both the cultural complexity and the breathtaking beauty of this exotic region. In lush colour, he captures the varied details of daily life: canals crowded with houseboats and floating gardens on Dal Lake, the ancient city of Srinagar, the harvesting of saffron, Hindu pilgrimages through the mountains, shepherds on the Himalayan slopes, prayers at the mosque and the private realm of family life. Isaac writes: 'There is something very magical about this place.' Here is historical Kashmir, not the country torn apart by war. This is an enchanted and enchanting land seen in magnificent images from a master photographer.作者简介* JOHN ISAAC was a UN photographer from 1969 to 1998 and has worked with the Sierra Club and UNICEF. He is widely recognised as one of the great digital printers. * Introduction by Art Davidson, the author of many books, including In the Wake of the Exxon Valdez.
