Walking Flagstaff - by George Breed (Hardcover)

About the Book

"George's photos are iridescent threads that weave together to reflect the fabric of the very special place that is Flagstaff. I hope that as you walk through this collection of George Breed's work you get a sense of what it is to slow down and see, to appreciate how much beauty there is all around us if we just step outside our front door and go looking for it" --page vii.

Book Synopsis

"An amazing and delightful mix of images of the people, structures, creatures, and natural habitat that make Flagstaff special!"-Tim F., Verified Customer

George Breed began walking the paths, streets, and back alleys of Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2009. He had no car and did not want one. Retired from his previous life as a psychologist, martial artist, Marine, and trail hiker, he could roam wherever his spirit and feet took him. He saw sights about which car dwellers, even those who had lived in Flagstaff for years, knew nothing.

As he walked, he became friends with this mountain town's street people, business owners, politicians, river runners, canyon hikers, buskers, street musicians, artists, and acrobats. The soul of the city made itself known to him. Through this unique book of images, Breed makes Flagstaff known to readers, who will come away charmed by the artist and his hometown.

In 2023, this book is being reissued with 14 additional photo pages and a new Afterword by the author.
