Résumé:
Geoffrey James directs his gaze to the in-between spaces and forgotten places that resist the idea of a cohesive national identity. With an equable eye, James documents the ephemeral and the monumental: a demolition derby in Quebec, how an inmate at Kingston Penitentiary has decorated his cell, the Dickensian side door of Massey Hall in Toronto. The photographs in this collection celebrate the everyday while meditating on the issues James’s adopted home faces: the bifurcation of rural and urban, rapid growth and increasing inequality, and its journey toward truth and reconciliation. Linked by views taken from train windows from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, James’s unofficial portrait of Canada brings into sharp relief the unfinished business of the nation as it lurches into the next century. Canadian Photographs includes a conversation between the photographer and Peter Galassi, former Chief Curator of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art.

Résumé:
Geoffrey James spent months tracking the Prairie light while photographing the city of Lethbridge and its environs. Those images reveal something of a place, a sensibility and a harsh light that together probe to the core of the Canadian experience. The images formed the basis of an exhibition, The Lethbridge Project, at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. Now, they have been married with the words of Rudy Wiebe to present a vision of the very soul of Canada, and of that Prairie experience which has so informed recent Canadian fiction. Rudy Wiebe offers an accompanying set of brief stories that draw on many layers of history as well as his personal memories to evoke the sense of place that is Lethbridge.

Résumé:
A major retrospective survey celebrating one of Canada's greatest landscape photographers, Geoffrey James. Geoffrey James's photographic work over the past twenty years explores the natural environment and the way in which human activity registers upon it. All his photographs, from the tranquility of the Roman Campagna to the desolate demarcations of the U.S./Mexican border, reverberate with a sense of human habitation, which is not always formally evident. This major retrospective includes an illustrated chronology of James's career and essays from Lori Pauli, Stephen Bann and Britt Salvesen.
