Lindsay, Charles/McGuane, Thomas – UPSTREAM (Fly Fishing the American West) – 2000 1st Limited to only 10 Copies Edition - Signed by Author & Signed and Remarqued by Photograper - Aperture, NY – pages not numbered - Aperture is an American foundation devoted to photography and visual arts - 'Upstream' is the result of photographer Charles Lindsay's five year journey in pursuit of trout and solitude - with fly rod in one hand and camera in the other. The results are breathtaking. Each of the 55 black and white images explores the relationship between the fly angler and his prey, and between the trout and its habitat. Lindsay's photographs are accompanied by an essay from novelist and author Thomas McGuane. Whilst not strictly related to each image, McGuane's text is a fitting accompaniment - reading at time the way a good fishing diary should. The images featured in 'Upstream' are dark, dirty and very, very real - and Lindsay should be praised for managing to translate the passion of fly-fishing onto the printed page. The images sum up the essence of fly-fishing better than anything else I've come across before and could almost act as a visual justification of exactly why we expend so much passion on our sport. – very fine in very fine - $125.00	Click here for pictures
