This is difficult to decide because many photos meant personal involvement. My Inuit photos to me are most meaningful. They were taken under difficult conditions. I came to know the people.

He traveled to more than 120 countries, and his work has appeared in the \u003ci\u003eToronto Star\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLook\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNational Geographic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eParis Match\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDer Stern\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParade Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e. Some of his most memorable photographs were captured between 1947 and 1953, when Harrington took five expeditions to the Arctic. His work documents not only the transitioning lifestyles of the locals, as western influences encroached on traditional ways of living, but also a terrible famine that struck the Padleimuit in the Northwest Territories in 1950 -- when the caribou, the main source of food for the Padleimuit, did not follow their usual migration path. The moving photographs from this series document dignity, acceptance and love in the face of starvation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eRichard Harrington: Arctic Photography\u003c\/i\u003e is a curated selection of some of Harrington's most stirring and compelling photographs from his years in the Arctic. With an introduction by renowned curator and artist Gerald McMaster and a short biography written by Stephen Bulger, the primary representative of Harrington's estate, this collection of masterful photographs is an important and timely re-examination of Harrington's work in the face of a changing climate and renewed Indigenous activism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald McMaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0228104467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780228104469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Firefly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 10.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Gerald McMaster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45477310071039,"sku":"9780228104469","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_393769f5-f767-4449-8d28-1b61c5ef5795.jpg?v=1715919661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/richard-harrington-gerald-mcmaster-9780228104469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
