Volume I
Ian Coristine's love affair with the 1000 Islands began when he discovered the area on a random flight in 1992. It was a life changing event. He became an island owner 3 years later and soon realized that several very unlikely ingredients had converged to provide an unlikely opportunity. Living six months a year in the "assignment" with a float plane, boat, camera and the experience to use them effectively, Coristine realized it was not only an opportunity but perhaps even an obligation to share the "privileged view" that he enjoys low from above.
In the summer of 2002, his first book, The 1000 Islands was released. It quickly sold out and by 2005 had gone through three large printings, well over 30,000 copies, all in the immediate region, by far the most successful book about the place ever published. That book is no longer available, but the enthusiasm with which it was received encouraged Coristine to continue sharing his "privileged view" in two sequel volumes. Individual giclée prints are available and cost $150 US.
This book is sold out, but occasionally copies can be found on eBay for those wishing to complete the trilogy. CLICK HERE to open a full-sized gallery of sample images.
