A Year in the life of Padstow, Polzeath and Rock by Joanna Jackson
A pictorial year in the life of this much-loved corner of North Cornwall.
Editor's choice: My first thoughts on this book were how pleasing it is to see a photography book that does not focus solely on the seaAlthough it does contain coastal images, this volume also exhibits the local flora, fauna and wildlife, often from interesting angles and an expert use of height. Jackson's thorough introductions at the beginning of each chapter are key to her success, as they give real structure and background to each image. Cornwall Today Joanna Jackson has affectionately created a wonderfully diverse collection of pictures that showcase a range of techniques and subjects. From spectacular wideangle landscape shots to intimate shots of local wildlife, each page has something different to offer. Jackson's knowledge of the local area shines through in her writing, as she enthusiastically describes its history, industry and traditional pastimes. If you are thinking of visiting North Cornwall then this could certainly persuade you!
