Book excerpt: This is Guy Laliberté documentation of his experience in space featuring his photographs of Earth as seen from the International Space Station. Captivated by the beauty of the surface of the Earth, Laliberté’s photos show the colors and textures visible only 220 miles away. A stable subject and a moving photographer - the ISS is moving at 17,500 miles per hour, doing 6 tours of the earth every 24 hours - made for truly original conditions. Using the Nikon D3S and Nikon D3X digital-SLR cameras, deserts resemble contemporary abstract paintings, cities rise up like mini-mountain ranges, and faces and figures are revealed in nature. 'Gaia' is the tour de force of Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté. A hand-bound limited edition with color plates presented in a linen clamshell box.
