Summary:

"This book presents a selection of photographs by some of the outsanding contemporary photographers in Canada. The Banff Purchase is a statement about a Canadian attitude toward the use of photography as a vital medium for creative expression. Here, photography is not just a method of reproduction. It is visual art. The Banff Purchase presents the finest work of seven photographers who have been producing, exhibiting and contributing to the medium over a period of years. Their work has helped establish the current state of photography as an art form in Canada. The Banff Purchase will be a major influence on the immediate future of Canadian photography." --dust jacket.
