Readers’ comments on Origins:
A book to treasure as an artefact, as well as to celebrate for its photographic art. The conceit of the book, as it were, is startling to encounter: the valley itself containing in its surfaces a narrative of the history of the earth.
Robert Macfarlane – author of Mountains of the Mind and The Wild Places
This is a book I will treasure as a vivid and beautiful realisation of the Nooitgedacht valley. Jennifer succeeds in capturing the many remarkable features of the region, origins, history, flora, fauna, rock and water. This book is of special interest to me having grown up in the Karoo.
Jennifer Gough-Cooper demonstrates conclusively the complete wrongness of the description one commonly comes across of the Karoo as a desert or semi-desert region. I think the book is a supreme example of the imaginative and artistic use of photography.
Colin Turpin – Fellow of Clare College Cambridge
