Book Description

Iowa July 2000
Come home to Iowa in this beautiful color tribute to the Hawkeye State by two native sons who also are professional photographers. Although they travel the United States and the world on assignment, Larsh K. Bristol lives in Waukon, and Curt Maas in Johnston.

Around Iowa, they train their cameras on daily life, the beauties of landscapes, changes in weather and seasons, and more. As artists with the lens, both discover artistic images all around—trees coated with sparkling ice, dew-beaded spider webs, rolling hills turned mystical by morning mist, historical sites recalling ancestors and ancients, farming's geometric patterns, or the flaming sunset that closes a frigid winter day.

Looking at their Iowa will enrich appreciation of our Iowa, taking us back home to America's heartland.

4.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary photos of variety of landscape in Iowa, December 4, 2000
This review is from: Iowa: Simply Beautiful (Hardcover)
The photographs in this book are extraordinary - pictures that represent the real beauty of the state of Iowa. The landscape varies from the 500 foot bluffs over the Mississippi River, tall hills and deep valleys, beautiful autumn colors; to the expected rolling hills of Grant Wood and the big sky over the prairies of tall grass. There is so much variety in Iowa, which this book captures in color-saturated photographs. My only consideration is I wish that there was more description of the places which are pictured. Photographs are either identified briefly by their titles, or not at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iowa: Simply Beautiful, February 27, 2008

This review is from: Iowa: Simply Beautiful (Hardcover)
The title says it all! I have lived here my entire life and every picture sent waves of wonderful memories. Our young friend took it with her to Fiji as a gift for her college home-stay family.

I knew I had to send a copy to my dear friend who was born & raised in Puerto Rico; got her second masters at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa; returned to PR after graduation. She fell in love with Iowa and wants to "move home" some day.

I have sent her many books about Iowa but she had a particular reaction to this one - as I knew she would. She said I was "the best of friends and the worst of friends" for sending this book - it helped her home-sickness but it made her cry. She pours over the book with her family.

I would recommend this to ANYONE with an Iowa connection - the photography is stunning and the memories it invokes are precious.
