One of the most beautiful photography books to be published in years, Intimations of Paradise is a wonderful testament to the pleasures of craftsmanship in art. Burkett's masterful use of large format clarity and brilliant color place him in a league of his own. His images are simple yet mystical, reflecting his own unique personal vision of the everyday natural world. As James Alinder states in his introduction, ?[Burkett] finds the affirmation of life everywhere.? In addition to Alinder's illuminating essay, this book also contains essays by noted portrait painter James Reid, Eastern Orthodox theologian and environmentalist Vincent Rossi and by the photographer himself. A must for every photographer. The book contains 73 exquisite color plates.
