A Thousand Moods

The Thousand Islands is blessed with world class beauty, but being primarily a summer place, the other season is largely unknown, yet beautiful in a very different way. These images, distilled into a slideshow from a network camera left running in my island cottage, will take you from fall '06 through spring '07 in just eight minutes. "The River" has infinite moods, and this will share many that most never see.

The very best of Ian Coristine's 1000 Islands

Music composed and performed by Tony Dekker and Great Lake Swimmers. My last book of photography of the 1000 Islands had to be the very best, both in content and quality.

In every way, the resulting "book of covers" is my very best.
