The land we call British Columbia takes the breath away. It hits us so powerfully that words and pictures can't do the experience justice. They can only point the way. After thirty years of trying to paint the history of this land in words, I picked up The Bowron Lakes: A Lifetime Journey, and found images that do more than point the way. They are there.

Collectors Limited Edition
Chris's stunning imagery presents the journey of a lifetime. Here is the circuit in all its drama and in every light. The photographs are accompanied by Chris's thoughts and feelings as he created them. With 150 images spanning the full range between precise documentary and impassioned abstraction, the result is a fresh perspective on the circuit and a pleasurable guide for both paddlers and visual artists.
Contributions by Jim Boyde, Syd Cannings, and Sandy Phillips detail the natural and cultural history of the Bowron Lakes. Archival images accompany these well-researched texts, to illuminate thousands of years of human habitation and its remaining clues in the circuit of today. Chris' beautiful colour imagery completes the natural history of the circuit, with portraits of many of the species that paddlers are likely to spot on their journey through the diverse range of habitats of this wildlife sanctuary.
