Book Description
The two "Images of the Southwest" volumes are companion CD-ROMs to the "Photographing the Southwest" books. They contain photographic material conveniently sorted by book chapters, allowing readers to pre-visualize the sites described in the books. A fantastic tool for preparing a trip to the Southwest. More than 500 high-quality images are presented in the two volumes. Those who see the CD-ROMs can't quit raving about them: outstanding photography, optimized color correction and sharpness, convenient 1024x768 wallpaper format. Together, both CDs represent more than 500 images covering a remarkable diversity of sites, many of which are little-known jewels. But don't be alarmed, we've included two great navigation tools for Windows and Macintosh computers that will get you browsing through the libraries in seconds. At only $19.95 per Volume, these CD-ROMs are a steal, compared to so-called screen savers, offering a meager 20 images.

I am truly impressed by the quality and clarity of the images contained within the CD ROM.
I recommend it highly to anyone with a passion for the American southwest, or simply travel in general.

One look at Martres's two books on photographing the Southwest convinced me to immediately buy his CDs as well. Many of the photos are stunning and Martres's fair use conditions are generous. The images are good companions to the book as you can copy the good setup angles that he has spent years finding. Also he avoids overly heavy use of filters so that what you see in the images represents what you may actually see in the field. There are a few times in which the criteria for including pictures seems to be the success of the shots rather than the significance of the places visited. (For example, Angel Arch in Canyonlands is not included.) Also, I found the links that some of the images had to his chosen jpg viewer (included) quirky. His may be more viewer than you want or need. Fortunately, it is possible to get around the included viewer and use your own jpg viewer. On the whole, the CD is very worthwhile.
