Souvenirs from high places

From early sketches to full colour photos, this unique book celebrates
mountain photography! Concurrent with mountaineering’s development began as a
popular leisure-time pursuit in the Alps and before climbing became the high-
tech, intense sport it is today — photography began its evolution into a
favorite activity as well. This parallel growth created the distinct genre of
mountaineering photography. As much a history of mountaineering as a history
of photography, Souvenirs from High Places offers a fascinating collection of
images from both ground-breaking photographers and amateur enthusiasts that
demonstrate not only how much has changed, but how much has remained the same.
