The Book of Santa Barbara Santa Barbara seems a place of such obvious charms. The golden beaches and sage-covered hillsides are there at first glance, while the Spanish-style townscape issues an invitation to visit all year, thanks to an unvaryingly pleasant Mediterranean climate. Even so, it takes an artist with a unique vision to reveal the complexity of Santa Barbara's beauty, as Macduff Everton does so brilliantly in the photographs that grace the pages of this book. A longtime Santa Barbaran, Everton uses his panoramic camera to reveal the play of light on sea and rock, the quirky corners of historic landmarks and the unexpected variety of lush gardens and open spaces. |

The Modern Maya: Incidents of Travel and Friendship in Yucatán Ancient Maya cities draw travelers from all over the world to Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula. But while tales of the "Maya collapse" give an air of mystery to the ruins, modern Maya still live in communities across the Yucatán, where they strive to maintain their culture and way of life despite centuries of political, social, and environmental disruption. Photographer Macduff Everton has spent more than four decades living and working among the Maya. His 1991 book on the modern Maya provided a superb photo-essay and ethnographic record of the Maya during a time of critical change and globalization. In this book, he masterfully updates his portrait of the modern Maya, while investigating the effects of NAFTA, tourism, the evangelical movement, world trade and maquiladoras, racism, sexism, and drugs on Maya communities. |

Patagonia La Última Esperanza In this spectacular collection of panoramic images, award-winning photographer Macduff Everton proves why Chile’s Last Hope Province, in the extreme southern corner of Patagonia is a landscape that kindles the dreams of world travelers. Patagonia La Última Esperanza is a collaboration with writer and fine artist Mary Heebner, whose meditative prose reflects the poetry of place. Just as her observations seek to unearth and understand the spirit of the region, her paintings, watercolors, and drawings evocatively counterpoint Everton’s photographs of iconic mountains and glacier-lined fjords. Together they provide a unique perspective on this vast, still mysterious territory and the lives of the people who have made a home here at the tip of the South American continent. |

The
Western Horizon The American West has been romanticized and mythologized, painted and photographed and filmed. But it has rarely been captured in the scale of Macduff Everton's photographs. Accompanying the photographs are lyrical and informative commentaries by Mary Heebner. Edmund Morris, the renowned biographer, contributes a foreword on the place of the West in American culture and history. Click to see images

The
Modern Maya "Macduff Everton's photographs
are some of the most haunting and beautiful documents of Maya life --
ancient and modern -- I have seen. They provide viewpoints that are
uniquely his own, and with artistry and sensitivity, they open up for
us, the Western world, a window into the experiences of another people." |

| text & illustrations
by Macduff Everton "This
splendid book recounts the adventures of Macduff and his son, Ricky,
on a trip to the Yucatan to find El Circo Magico Modelo, the Magic Circus.
The lively story is accompanied by the author's gorgeous yarn paintings,
a traditional technique of the Huichol Indians that Macduff learned
while living in Mexico."

That's
Not Entirely True "Macduff Everton's series
of "fotoverigraphs" is an unusually imaginative and witty piece of
work. No academic could offer a more persuasive demonstration of
the elasticity of photographic meaning -- or one so full of pleasure
and surprise."
