Always Colorado

Summary: I was so uplifted by the simple beauty - natural beauty
Review: I found a copy of "Always Colorado" in my father's cabin. I fell in love, instantly. It was so refreshing, so simple, so natural. Not manufactured. Just breathtaking beauty. I have never been to Colorado but I feel that I could describe the landscape as if I had lived there all my life. I have seen several books on Colorado but "Always Colorado" was so innocent and pure. I felt cheated when I turned the last page. I left knowing that Colorado is the place I want to take my husband and children on our next vacation. The world needs to get back to the basics and teach our children about the real beauty in life, the things we usually take for granted; pure, honest, nature.
Thank you, Jon, I look at this book a lot and I see my daddy on every page.

Summary: Not Very Impressive
Review: I'm reluctant to give any photographer a bad review, as I'm sure they put a lot of effort into their work. However, when you publish a book and ask people to buy it, you open yourself up to criticism. And since there are so many other Colorado picture books out there, I don't think that people should spend their money on this one. Most of the photographs in this book have the look and feel of images taken by an amateur photographer. The cover photo is pretty much representative of the entire book. It's a fairly boring, trite photograph with flowers in the foreground and mountains off in the distance. There is nothing interesting about this image, and there is almost nothing interesting about this book. If you are looking for a good Colorado picture book, I recommend taking a look at my list-mania list called Best Colorado Picture Books (by clicking on my name). I hope that this list is a good resource for anyone looking to buy a Colorado photography book.
