Dan Callaghan, Oregon’s consummate natural photographer, passed away April 13, 2006, but he is immortalized in this book of his home river, the North Umpqua. Dan had an inquisitive mind, a sharp artist’s eye, a touch of whimsy, and tenacity for perfection. He captured the essence of the Umpqua River in all her glory during the best and worst of conditions. His art displays the splendor of the seasons: the bleak and startling beauty of winter, the rejuvenation of spring, the lushness of summer, and the unsurpassed brilliance of fall. Anglers at the height of their rhythm, intensity, and joy were preserved by his shutter. This spectacular photographic journey will bring you closer to the North Umpqua, closer to nature, perhaps closer to yourself.
