Stone Offerings Machu Picchu Terraces of Enlightenment Mike Torrey Marie Arana 9780981881201 Books

I love this book! Machu Picchu is one of my favorite places on this planet and the author captures the true essence of this awe inspiring place.

Not only does Machu Piccu have a huge presence, but the textures, weather, light, temperature and colors are so ever dynamic. The author captures the entire experience ... Love the picture spread on page 72-73 ... shooting the perspective of looking thru a stone window opening to the shear peaks, their sharpness covered with rough overgrowth, wispy clouds passing, and there in the thick stone windowsill is a puddle of water reflecting sunlight. Page 55 how the backside of the stone condor is overgrown with bromeliads, vivid wildflowers,vivid mountains in the background, one peak completely blocked out with the heavy clouds that are constantly blowing thru, but are now the perfect backdrop to jungle like tree which pops from the page. The picture captures 4 focal points each at a different depth. Then the photo on page 39 how each raindrop reflects lights and hangs at the tip of each stick ... you just wait for them to drop ... and the first picture on page 15 well, there are no words ... maybe "it's exactly like that!" would work.

The Author's notes at the back of the book also bring more appreciation for each photo ... because in reality you are there with many many other tourists, yet your experience is all yours as if it was only you standing there ... and the Author captures that personal experience.

A wonderful book that brought back many memories of Machu Picchu; each picture you could step right into and experience this magical place all over again.

Perfect complement to our recent trip to PERU and Machu Picchu!
We can look at the pictures and feel like we are there.
It was so great that the author used many different seasons for the book.
Book was better than described, a beautiful book in brand-new condition. Excellent seller.
The pictures are spectacular. The physical quality of the book is very good. It is just the right size.
This photobook really communicates the feel of Machu Picchu.
Amazing photos and quality. My friend loved the book! Fast shipping and damaged free when arrived. Thank you!
The book contains beautiful pictures of a magnificent site. Although it has been more than 25 years since I visited Machu Picchu, I still felt some connection with the scenic presentations provided in the book regarding a timeless spot of history.
I bought the book for the professional photos and information~while at Machu Picchu I was fully present and enjoyed the total view, not through a view finder. A photographer once told me he buys books of places he visits and only takes a few snapshots~that way he can fully enjoy the experience~it's a practice I've done ever since and this book is a fantastic keepsake of Machu Picchu!
