Hallowed Earth - A Lifetime in Photography by Chris Chapman
Chris Chapman's inspirational photographs, taken over a period of fifty years, give us a unique insight into the
realities of everyday life on Dartmoor and landscapes further afield.
In this new selection of over 230 images from his personal archive, most of which have never been published
before, his unrivalled eye captures the very essence of country life and portrays the sense of belonging that
runs through the heart of rural communities.
The photographs are accompanied by his personal reflections on universal themes such as childhood,
conversations, farming and the countryside. His pictures and words reflect the time-deep beauty of the world
around us and highlight the profound social and environmental change that even places such as Dartmoor,
often thought of as 'timeless' landscapes, are undergoing.
"I suppose I am biased. Chris Chapman has been a friend since the mid-seventies when he was a student. It
was evident from the start that he oozed commitment. He had a passion for the environment. He developed
into one of the very best - accurate, honest, loving and tender - of photographers".

THE THREE HARES
A Curiosity Worth Regarding
Three Hares share three ears, yet each beast has two, following each other in an eternal circle. This richly illustrated book tells the story of a 25-year quest, which began in Devon in South West England, to explore, across much of Eurasia, the origins, transmission, use and survival of this charming, enigmatic and sometimes geometrically precise motif.
