Magnétisme animal.
Steve McCurry tourne son objectif vers les créatures de notre monde.
Animals nous révèle une autre facette du célèbre photographe, explorateur habile de la relation complexe entre les animaux, les humains et l'environnement.
La tendresse domine, en particulier dans les scènes où des chiens des rue, abandonnés, dorment paisiblement aux côtés d'un humain. Mais elle côtoie une certaine solitude, indissoluble, celle des animaux qui n'appartiennent à personne et errent avec pour seul guide leur instinct de survie. La voici qui s'incarne alors à travers des chameaux pris entre deux feux pendant la première guerre du Golfe, un berger du nord du Pakistan nourrissant tendrement ses chèvres, des chiens «croisés» à Beverly Hills, des chevaux de course sur un toit de Hong Kong, des éléphants en Thaïlande, et dans bien d'autres images choisies par McCurry parmi ses vastes archives.
Dans l'objectif de McCurry s'apprécient la beauté et la dignité silencieuse de chaque créature. Cette anthologie kaléidoscopique est autant un magnifique carnet de voyage qu'un émouvant hommage aux créatures qui partagent notre planète.

- Unique wildlife photography: photographed up close and no animal portrayed lives in captivity.
- Tom D. Jones is the only Belgian 'Hasselblad Master'.
- With a foreword by celebrated photographer Steve McCurry.
"Tom's committed career has captured images that will serve as pieces of history for generations to come." - Steve McCurry Tom D. Jones is a wildlife photographer: he makes a point of never photographing animals in captivity and portrays them very closely. The results are almost human portraits of impressive animals such as elephants, rhinos, lions, etc. They also carry a clear message: let's take care of these often endangered species and the world they inhabit before it's too late. This is precisely what his friend and colleague Steve McCurry emphasizes in the foreword to this great book.
Tibet has suffered extreme political turmoil and upheaval over the last 50 odd years. Occupied in 1950, Red Guards destroyed thousands of official buildings and holy places during the Cultural Revolution, and religious freedom and traditional education are still severely under threat.
Due to the strength of Tibetan faith in Buddha, in the Dalai Lama, and against the odds, many buildings have been reconstructed, their devotion and belief remain extraordinarily strong. Buddhism permeates every aspect of a Tibetan's life, whether living in Tibet or in exile in Nepal, India or the United States.
A magnificent and time-stopping work, The Path to Buddha is divided into five parts, in which we see the monks in animated discussion, meditation and prayer; and we follow the devout believers on their arduous journeys to prayer. The two main chapters are interspersed with sections of portraits of this proud and dignified people whose own innate sense of their own being can be seen in the simplest of things, such as the way they dress and adorn themselves.
