About the Book:

For many of us the camera is at best a fashion accessory, looped around the neck like a fine broach.  Pictures come and pictures go but seldom does one demand our attention and leave us in awe of natures beauty.

In the hands of Tim Hauf, however, the camera works magic!  Each image bursts from the page in stunning beauty.  From the diminutive island fox, to the lumbering humpback whale, Mr. Hauf has a rare and precious relationship with the lens.

Hauf's latest photo book collection provides a stunning example (many examples, actually) of his work capturing the Channel Islands and surrounding oceans.  With some 225 images, this third photo book on the Channel Islands pays homage to the 'California Galapagos' as the islands are often referred. Foreword by Jean-Michel Cousteau.
