LORRAINE MONK
Ontario/A Laving Look is a very special tribute to the spirit of this vast and richly varied land called Ontario. In celebration of the province's official bicentennial, Lorraine Monk has produced here in words and pictures an evocative and compelling portrait of the many faces of this unique place we call home. An exciting journey to the very heart of the province, it is, however, more than just a gorgeous array of stunning photographs. Ontario/A Loving Look is in essence a lyric meditation on the mystery and beauty of a land so huge we are still discovering its colossal richness and vitality two hundred years and generations after the first European settlements.
From the wonder of Niagara Falls, the majesty of Lake Superior, the splendour of Algonquin Park, and the magic of the Thousand Islands, to the solitude of the northern forest, the vivid change of season, the quiet industry of farming communities, and the bustle of cities, Ontario/A Loving Look is...

LORRAINE MONK
Ontario/A Laving Look is a very special tribute to the spirit of this vast and richly varied land called Ontario. In celebration of the province's official bicentennial, Lorraine Monk has produced here in words and pictures an evocative and compelling portrait of the many faces of this unique place we call home. An exciting journey to the very heart of the province, it is, however, more than just a gorgeous array of stunning photographs. Ontario/A Loving Look is in essence a lyric meditation on the mystery and beauty of a land so huge we are still discovering its colossal richness and vitality two hundred years and generations after the first European settlements.
From the wonder of Niagara Falls, the majesty of Lake Superior, the splendour of Algonquin Park, and the magic of the Thousand Islands, to the solitude of the northern forest, the vivid change of season, the quiet industry of farming communities, and the bustle of cities, Ontario/A Loving Look is a subtle weave of Ontario's rich topography, flora and fauna, people, places, and pursuits. Lorraine Monk's journey through the province is deeply informed with a sense of discovery, of wonder and sheer joy. An extraordinary variety of form, colour, and mood unfolds before us, and we see this familiar place as if for the first time.
The photographs are underscored with a rich selection of historical quotes from early settlers, travellers, and artists. These illuminating observations of pioneer life in the province provide a timeless dimension both serious and humorous, and curiously relevant to our contemporary ears.
With over 150 colour photographs from the work of 88 of the province's photographers, Ontario/A Loving Look is a loving portrait of a very special place. Vissza
