Henry Beston, a gifted writer from the last century, came up with this description of wildlife: We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the Earth.The animals who share this world with us have been here far longer than we have, and they can help us understand our relationship with other life forms, with the Earth, and with the Creator behind it all. Using powerful images and powerful words Worshipping With A Camera shows the readers they are part of an almost impossibly wonderful world. This book will leave the reader feeling inspired and more secure about their place in the universe.
