A journey through the New England landscape, and the turn of seasons, by a lifelong New Englander.

Anthony Reczek’s book of masterful photographs and insightful text, Roaming the Land: Photographs of New England, makes a splendid addition to the photographic tradition of capturing the essential spirit of the four seasons in the American northeast.

He turns his camera eye and nimble mind on the natural world: field, forest, and hillside; river, lake, and seascape, but he focuses too on the human community: the parades, festivals and farmers markets in towns and villages, the work and play of farmers and fishermen; the climbers celebrating on a granite summit.

His written commentary on these photographs is wry, wistful, spirited, and spiritual, providing causation and context for many of these shots. All in all, Roaming the Land offers a breathtaking variety of photographic images for anyone with a longstanding passion or a newfound interest in the many moods and evocations of the north country.
