Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+. Gift Inscription by Previous Owner. This text is a photographic portrait of the village of Shimukappu (Highland Haven) in Japan and its people and surroundings, through the four seasons. Nicholas DeVore III (April 24, 1949 ? May 16, 2003) was a freelance photographer in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s who spent 25 years traveling the world taking photos for publications such as National Geographic, Fortune, Life, and GEO. While DeVore was acknowledged as an excellent technical photographer of the outdoors, it was the way he embraced cultures and provoked people that made his work stand out. His focus on international destinations ? landscapes, people and culture ? continues to draw admirers and followers. A signature expression of his style, subject matter and viewpoint remains Village Japan: the Four Seasons of Shimukappu, an album that took almost two years to make, photographed in Shimukappu, Hokkaido. It is the only existing published collection of DeVore's photography to date. Sam Abell, a staff photographer at National Geographic for 33 years, said DeVore was the most charismatic and flamboyant character he ever came across. "Even though the name ?adventure travel? didn't exist then, he would have been its primary photographer.
