About Colorado: Yesterday & Today
Product Description When Joseph Collier left Scotland bound for Central City, Colorado in 1871, it was unclear whether the young immigrant would make much of a name for himself. However, through hard work and perseverance, Collier developed a reputation as one of the state's preeminent pioneer photographers. Now, over a century later, Grant Collier has literally followed in the footsteps of his great-great-grandfather. Grant has traveled across Colorado taking photographs from precisely the same spots where Joseph Collier captured his images. These photographs are presented in the often-imitated but never duplicated "Colorado: Yesterday & Today." Review Collier's book is considerably more interesting than John Fielder's as a result of the familial tie. Grant has expertly captured the precise perspective of his great-great-grandfather in each image and has done a masterful job conveying what it was like 'being there' then and now. --Mike Daniels, The Mountain Connection One of "the best books of the year." --Rocky Mountain News Colorado: Yesterday & Today is a fascinating record of Colorado history . . . Grant Collier followed in his ancestor's footsteps, painstakingly photographing the same scenes as often as he possibly could. The results are captivating . . . Collier's book should be viewed as the labor of love it obviously is, in addition to being a true work of art. --Pat Windolph, editor of The Mountain Mail About the Author Grant Collier has been working as a professional photographer since 1996. His images have been featured in magazines throughout the United States and Europe and he is the author of 15 books, including a large, hardcover sequel to "Colorado: Yesterday & Today" called "Colorado Then & Now."
