Lake Powell Fauna Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

Peter Goin is a 'third culture child' having been raised in Indonesia, Turkey, Brasil, and the United States. Perhaps this is why I observe, and comment upon culture.....

Peter Goin is the author of Tracing the Line: A Photographic Survey of the Mexican-American Border (limited edition artist book, 1987), Nuclear Landscapes (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1991), Stopping Time: A Rephotographic Survey of Lake Tahoe with essays by C. Elizabeth Raymond and Robert E. Blesse (University of New Mexico Press, 1992), and Humanature (University of Texas Press, 1996).
