By reflecting upon these places the reader will be in able to approach this man in a fresh way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraig Alan Huber first began photographing the California Missions in 2008 and as he learned more of the Franciscans and contributions of Fray Serra in particular he decided to make sojourns to both Mallorca and Mexico as well to photograph the important places Serra played a pivotal role in. During his dedicated pilgrimages to these spiritual sites he sought and often felt a life force flowing through them. This unseen energy has a Spirit. It is this Spirit Within he reveals through his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe images presented in this book are from Mr. Huber's pilgrimages to thirty-seven sites where Serra had an impact. Twenty-three sites are in Alta California where Junípero directly founded the first nine Missions and set the stage for the remainder. Seven locations are in Mexico where he established five Missions in the remote Sierra Gorda mountains and played significant roles in two Franciscan colegio -- San Fernando in Mexico City and Santa Cruz in Queretaro. Finally there are seven locations on the island of Mallorca where Josep Miguel Serra was born and eventually became a Franciscan just shy of his eighteenth birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the entire book photographer Craig Alan Huber was faithful to what some term today as 'old school' photography working with a large format film view camera the same style used by Ansel Adams Edward Weston and other iconic photographers.

For these horses are noble and courageous. They are dignified, kind, trusting and engaging. And yet, there is something more, an ineffable quality found in the Lusitano that I have not found in other breeds.
