title: Arizona: A Photographic Tribute
author:  John Annerino 
description: <span>"The American West is well known for its breathtaking scenery. In this celebration of Arizona's first 100 years Annerino has captured its mythical quality. Each stunning image is accompanied by carefully selected quotes from the records of early travelers, writers and photographers. Their words mingle with the impact of Annerino's photography to produce a gorgeous reflection.A fascinating introductory essay, weaving together human and natural history, legends, and personal reflections lends the astounding photography a further depth." <br />--Outdoor Photography Magazine, London, UK</span><br /><br /><span>"With breathtaking photographs and classic quotations from famous authors and artists who appreciated the state, photographer John Annerino celebrates Arizona's centennial. My favorite of favorites is his sunrise image of Monument Valley accompanied by actor John Wayne's quote "So this is where God put the West." The book is a nice gift for newcomers or guests, but I have a copy next to my reading chair."<br /> --Southwest Books of the Year</span><br /><br /><span>"Once you are drawn into this desert place," Annerino writes, "there is no escaping it -- you will spend the rest of your life trying to unravel its mysteries." His photos speak volumes about beauty and open spaces. You look at them and remember places you have walked, places you have been. They make you want to go there. Each photo is accompanied by a quote, a collection of thoughtfully selected passages."<br /> --The Arizona Republic</span><br /><br /><span>"Celebrating Arizona's centennial, photographer and author John Annerino has put together a collection of engaging photographs of the Arizona landscape. Each entry is accompanied by a quote from a notable desert observer, beginning with Martha Summerhayes." 1908</span><br /><span>--Arizona Daily Star</span>
