David Muench Releases Grand Canyon Retrospect

David Muench is nothing short of landscape photography royalty. Long grouped with fellow photography icons Ansel Adams and Jack Dykinga, Muench has inspired generations of photographers with his instantly recognizable images and ambassadorship for the American West. Farcountry Press' newest release, David Muench's Timeless Moments: Grand Canyon National Park, features a career retrospect of Muench's most celebrated and incredible Grand Canyon shots.

Even after decades of capturing the park, he continues to find himself drawn there, "My inspiration started with my parents," Muench says. "My travels with them in the Grand Canyon introduced me to an intimacy with this place and with the natural landscape that formed my way of life."

Spanning more than four decades, Timeless Moments showcases Muench's dedication to landscape photography. "I have a passion for seeking the timeless moment," he says, "that slice of time between then and now when my camera shutter stops time." Within the pages of Timeless Moments, Muench offers readers a chance to experience the Grand Canyon in a rare and exciting way. "You get to see the Grand Canyon from the inside out and feel this dramatic sense of this place and time that has taken lifetimes to take shape," Muench says.

Combining a skilled master's aptitude with a world-class understanding of light and composition, David Muench's Timeless Moments offers up a lifelong study of one of America's most stunning natural landscapes.

With a full index, map, and 86 full-color images ranging from previously published favorites to the first appearance of hidden gems from Muench's private collection, David Muench's Timeless Moments: Grand Canyon National Park offers the opportunity to experience America's only Wonder of the Natural World in a grand fashion.
