Holy moly!,

This review is from: The Creation (Mass Market Paperback)
My wonderful wife bought me this masterpiece 10 yrs. ago. I open it up anytime I need photographic inspiration. Why did I not take one of his seminars? This book, in my biased opinion, would be worth 150 bucks (in great condition of course)for photographic lovers. Landscapes, close ups, surreal images........ I wish I had much more of Mr. Haas' stuff.John, Texas

This review is from: The Creation (A Studio book) (Hardcover)
Ernst Haas wasn't known as a "nature photographer". He was a photojournalist, one of the stars of the Magnum photo agency (an agency of stars itself). What he did with "The Creation" was take a selection of his photos from various areas of the world and arrange them to illustrate the story of creation as presented by the world's religions. The results are stunning and the book is a classic. It was one of the first photography books I was exposed to when I became interested in photography about 40 years ago."The Creation" is not about nature or religious dogma. It is visual poetry from a master photographer. Although Haas was known for his black and white documentary work, he was also enthralled with Kodachrome film and color abstractions. This may be his greatest achievement as a color photographer. While long out-of-print, used copies of later editions of this work in both hardcover and paperback are available at reasonable prices. It is a classic book I highly recommend.
