"Marfa Flights: Aerial Views of Big Bend Country" by Paul V. Chaplo

"These stunning images of one of the most sparsely populated and least visited regions of North America are not your typical coffee table book pretty pictures. In Marfa Flights: Aerial Views of Big Bend Country, Paul Chaplo, a classically trained visual artist who also happens to be a professional photographer, found and composed out of this swirlingly violent and bone-dry landscape something wondrous and haunting. Photographed from a single engine airplane, at various times of day, the land and sky and jewel-like ribbons of water come alive with form, muscle, and color." — C.M. Mayo, author

"Breathtaking photography of the Big Bend region. Superb exhibit at Museum of the Big Bend at Sul Ross State University, this serves as both an exhibit catalog and a summary of the vastness of this unique West Texas area." — E.H.

"Marfa Flights: Aerial Views of Big Bend Country" by Paul V. Chaplo

"Excellent book on far west Texas, with a brilliant introduction from Larry Francell of Fort Davis, TX. Overall, I will need a couple more copies for gifts. My only complaint is with the title, it has little or nothing to do with Marfa except as a marketing tool. It should be called Big Bend Flights, or just about anything else." -- T.T.
