THE PHOTO “My earliest memories as a child are visiting the Niagara Gorge and Escarpment. I’m excited to work with Niagara Parks Heritage and Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority to create a new photography book to celebrate Niagara Peninsula’s new UNESCO Global GeoPark designation. The cover photo for the book (shown here) was originally createdfor inclusion in TheGreatNiagaraEscarpment.ca Indigenous Cultural Map site for the charity Plenty Canada. This image was inspired by the ancient Seneca legend Maid of the Mist. An escort from the Niagara Police and Niagara Parks was required to capture Anishnaabe dancer Keira Chianne facing the American Falls at the bottom of the Niagara Gorge.”
THE PHOTOGRAPHER Mark Zelinski is an award-winning photographer and has travelled to all seven continents of the earth to create nine internationally acclaimed photography books.
