Abstractions of the Alps - Garrett Fisher - Bog

After years of mountain flying and publishing books of aerial photography subjects, a reality of publishing set in, that marketability restricts editorial focus to a list of the most obvious subjects. While that may be a boon to the economics of book publishing, it restricts the freedom of artistic expression, including the revelation of locales and images that do not make it into prime categories, yet would be desirable to many that love an area. Taking a new approach to editorial constraint, the author decided to publish a compendium of aerial images taken in the Alps, with no editorial criteria other than captivating beauty and geographic association anywhere within the mountain range. A form of artistic conversation, "Abstractions of the Alps" contains 121 aerial images, documenting the author's continuing aerial photography process along with aesthetically intriguing imagery located in Switzerland, Italy, and France at altitudes higher than the highest peak to as low as the vineyards growing in the valleys.
