A native Californian from San Luis Obispo, Londie Padelsky has photographed throughout North America and abroad, using medium-format, panoramic, and 35mm cameras.

Londie has lived in the Eastern Sierra since 1982 and has photographed the Sierra wilderness extensively by foot and on horseback, often camping for several weeks at a time. In 1997, Londie led an eight-week photography expedition by horseback with pack mules, crossing more than 250 miles on the John Muir Trail.

The Missions as travel destinations
The author must love the missions - they are photographed beautifully. This is a book of art and not a book about the history, archeology or sociology of the missions.
If you want to be inspired to visit the missions this is your book.
If you are in forth grade and are working on your mission project this is not what you need.
