Overview: Take your landscape photography to new heights by leveraging the vast, forgotten power of epic, Homeric poetry! And enjoy Dr. E’s epic landscape photography along the way!
The legendary outdoorsman John Muir, who greatly inspired Ansel Adams, saluted the inspirational qualities of epic poetry, writing, “I remember as a great and sudden discovery that the poetry of the Bible, Shakespeare, and Milton was a source of inspiring, exhilarating, uplifting pleasure; and I became anxious to know all the poets, and saved up small sums to buy as many of their books as possible. Within three or four years I was the proud possessor of parts of Shakespeare’s, Milton’s, . . . and quite a number of others.”
As sure as epic poetry including Milton’s Paradise Lost helped inspire John Muir to form the Sierra Club and battle for the National Parks system, epic poetry can enhance and exalt every landscape photographers’ art.
Not so long ago, great outdoorsmen and artists such as Ansel Adams, John Muir, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau reveled in epic poetry, and this book brings that forgotten spirit on back. Indeed, the most important element of landscape photography—the epic poetry of the immortal soul—oft seems to be the least discussed today.
