Description
Around the world with a camera and a calling. In 1979 Maurice Harvey became the official photojournalist of the United Bible Societies — a position that sent him across the globe with a reporting brief and an open heart. Shooting the Globe is his entertaining memoir of that life behind the lens, illustrated with over two hundred pages of color and black-and-white photographs.
Harvey’s stories range from quirky to grippingly poignant as he captures the human soul of remarkable places and people: the assignments that went sideways, the accidents that became blessings, the encounters that never made the official record. It is travel writing with a photographer’s eye for the telling detail — the gesture, the light, the moment.
For photography lovers and armchair travelers. A warm, humane book from a man who spent his life looking closely — and who learned that the camera is only half the story.
