Rocky Mountain Elk Portfolio [Hardcover]

Donald M. Jones (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 30, 2004

Prolific wildlife photographer Donald M. Jones has created an inspired collection of images capturing elk in a wide variety of habitats: lush medows, dense spruce forest, sandy riverbanks, grassy, golden hillsides, and snow-blanketed valleys. Jones gets closer than most ever will to these spectacular creatures and is thus able to tell the story of their survival in the Rocky Mountains.

Editorial Reviews

Review

After 15 years of editing a magazine devoted exclusively to elk, it seems to me that the difference between a good elk image and a great one comes down to passion. Clearly, mastery of composition and intimacy with light are vital, but it's a passion for wild elk and wild country that lights the best images from within. Don Jones is an incandescent photographer. --Dan Crockett, editor, Bugle, journal of the nonprofit Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

Jones has spent the last twenty years viewing and photographing wildlife from the Florida Everglades to the high Arctic -- but his first love is for his home state of Montana. Jones' photographs have appeared in numerous periodicals, including Audubon, Sierra, National Wildlife, Time, Field & Stream, and Outdoor Life.

Donald M. Jones is simply the best wildlife photographer I have had the pleasure to discover. He has a keen eye, and combines an adventurous, intrepid spirit in his appreciation of location with a superb understanding of his subject matter. These photographs of wild elk are staggering in their beauty. A tear came to my eye upon turning page after page. What a treat! I am thrilled with this purchase and it has pride of place now in my home. Kirsten P. Stromberg

This is the third copy of this book I have puchased. The second was becasue Ii forgot I owned the first one. I tried to give that one to my sister, but it was stolen by my mother becasue she liked it so much. So I had to but the third copy to give to my sister. If you love Colorado wildlife, this has some amazing moose pictures. A real crowd pleaser.
