Dan Callaghan's North Umpqua

Description

We love Dan Callaghan for many things: his excellence & passion as a fly-fisherman, his life-long devotion & hard work for the fish & fisheries he loved, his eye as a photographer, his warmth & kindness, his delight in river otters, dippers, spring flowers, autumn leaves, & rivers.

Dan Callaghan, Oregon’s consummate natural photographer, is immortalized in this book on his river home, the North Umpqua. Dan had an inquisitive mind, a sharp artist’s eye, a touch of whimsy, & a tenacity for perfection. He captured the essences of the Umpqua River in all her glory during the best & worst of conditions. His art displays the splendor of the seasons; the bleak & startling beauty of winter, the rejuvenation of spring, the lushness of summer, & the unsurpassed brilliance of fall. Anglers at the height of their rhythm, intensity, & joy were preserved by his shutter. This spectacular photographic journey will bring you closer to the North Umpqua, closer to nature, perhaps closer to yourself.
