ORIGINS - NEWS & REVIEWS

Origins - song of Nooitgedacht, a remote valley in the Karoo by Jennifer Gough-Cooper, a remarkable photographic essay in three editions published by Wild Almond Press. NOW AVAILABLE nationwide and in United Kingdom

Getaway Magazine - Origins – song of Nootigedacht, a remote valley in the Karoo is a coffee-table treasure that seamlessly binds together photography as an art form and the ability of images to reveal the creation of a landscape.

Robert Macfarlane, author of ‘Mountains of the Mind and The Wild Places’ - A book to treasure as an artefact, as well as to celebrate for its photographic art. The conceit of the book, as it were, is startling to encounter: the valley itself containing in its surfaces a narrative of the history of the earth.

Melvyn Minnaar - Weekend Argus - 2 October 2011 - The isolated region to which Jennifer Gough-Cooper took her camera for one of the year's finest visual publications also goes through the variations of season and multi-annual cycles. The joy of Origins – song of Nooitgedacht is that it takes us to that distant place in the Karoo, but also far beyond, to something we can vaguely designate as our “origins” defined and enclosed by magnificent geography, its fauna and flora and just a touch of human presence.
