Part autobiography, part travelogue and part reflection, this is a book of wonderful variety and range. There's humour, drama, anecdote and heart-searching. Every spread is illustrated by Ken's superb images: from the Aussie outback to Africa, from Antarctica to China - and much more. This book is in many ways a follow-up to Ken's acclaimed 2008 volume Ken Duncan: Life's an Adventure. That book surprised and thrilled readers, who read for the first time many of the stories behind Ken's career. For Ken, the greatest accolade came when he heard of a farmer whose life had (quite literally) been saved by reading the book. Ready to take his own life after two years of destructive floods, the farmer had happened upon Ken's volume in the farmhouse; he'd been completely turned around by Ken's personal story of chaos leading to hope. Ken Duncan: Life's a Journey continues in this tradition, telling more - much more - of the unique Ken Duncan story. Ken's passion is to speak honestly to his own generation - in the midst of a world often gripped by fear of financial crisis, terrorism or environmental catastrophe.… (more)

Ken Duncan is a household name, and his photography hangs in households and workplaces all over the country.

What a thrill then to be invited to review his latest book Life's A Journey - The Adventure Continues.

Full of stunning landscapes from all over the world, portraits of people and wildlife, Life's A Journey - The Adventure Continues is the perfect coffee table book or gift for Christmas.

More than that though are the personal words and reflections from Ken Duncan himself. A proud Christian, Ken shares with the reader his personal experiences and some of the life lessons he's learned in his many years travelling the globe and meeting some extraordinary people.

Ken's reflections include thoughts and comments on indigenous Australia, the environment, global warming, charity, nature and the gift of giving without expecting anything in return. You'll also find some poignant moments, commentary on photographic equipment and of course his signature striking and evocative photographs within these beautifully printed pages. ( )

Book description
This spectacular volume has been more than thirty years in the making. Featuring many never-before-seen photos, plus a host of stories untold until now, Ken Duncan: Life’s a Journey is a magnificent and yet passionate “commentary on life” from one of the world’s great photographers.

Part autobiography, part travelogue and part reflection, this is a book of wonderful variety and range. There’s humour, drama, anecdote and heart-searching. Every spread is illustrated by Ken’s superb images: from the Aussie outback to Africa, from Antarctica to China – and much more.

This book is in many ways a follow-up to Ken’s acclaimed 2008 volume Ken Duncan: Life’s an Adventure. That book surprised and thrilled readers, who read for the first time many of the stories behind Ken’s career. For Ken, the greatest accolade came when he heard of a farmer whose life had (quite literally) been saved by reading the book. Ready to take his own life after two years of destructive floods, the farmer had happened upon Ken’s volume in the farmhouse; he’d been completely turned around by Ken’s personal story of chaos leading to hope.

Ken Duncan: Life’s a Journey continues in this tradition, telling more – much more – of the unique Ken Duncan story. Ken’s passion is to speak honestly to his own generation – in the midst of a world often gripped by fear of financial crisis, terrorism or environmental catastrophe.

As Ken writes: “Daily we have choices to make: Will we live our lives in faith or fear? I choose faith. Who will join me in this peaceful revolution?”
