Beauty of the beasts. This is Frans Lanting`s vibrant tribute to Old Africa revisited on its 20th anniversary. Botswana, many say, represents the last of Old Africa. & in the heart of this arid land lies a place as inspiring & as incongruous as the snow-capped summit of Kilimanjaro rising on the equator: that is the Okavango, one of the greatest wetlands on earth, whose very existence in the middle of a desert is nothing short of miraculous.
- Frans Lanting, 1993 For a year, between 1988 & 1989, Frans Lanting roamed the wetlands & deserts of northern Botswana, living by the rhythms of the water & the movements of the animals as he captured them on film. The ” National Geographic” had sent him there on assignment, but what he would take away was much more than a magazine story; it was a seminal & unparalleled collection of photographs depicting a world of flora & fauna that many had assumed no longer existed on this earth. As Lanting wrote, ” To many who have seen the fate of other wild areas in Africa & elsewhere in the world, the very notion that such a place as Okavango still exists is like a dream.” Living out of vehicles & canvas tents, gliding through swamps, following lions by night
- Lanting, armed with his Nikon FE2, got up close & personal with some of the planet`s most formidable creatures. The book he published a few years later, ” Okavango”, was a testament not only to the wondrous wildlife of the region, but also to Lanting`s extraordinary courage, skill, & photographic eye. After many publications of Lanting`s work, including ” Jungles”, ” Eye to Eye”, & ” Penguin”, TASCHEN now revisits his original classic with this updated & expanded edition of ” Okavango”, further enhanced with all new reproductions & dozens of previously unpublished photos, as well a new preface by Lanting.
