Mount Shasta A Photo-Novella [Paperback]

Conceptual Adventures in Mountaineering! In the near future, or perhaps the recent past: Guided by failure and hopelessness, a ragtag team of mountaineers sets out on a adventure that transcends the normal bounds of storytelling. They seek nothing less than the summit of the sacred mountain that provides a physical path between Earth and Heaven. Mount Shasta, is a Photo-Novella, a story told not only with words, but with photographs. In the late 1990s, contemporary artist Peter Santino, set out to make to a movie inspired by a beloved book. With the help of a group of willing friends, a real mountain and a very limited budget of $120, this work was published in 2001 as a streaming Macromedia Flash project: MOUNT SHASTA, A Photo-Novella for the Internet. Now, some 15 years later, Mount Shasta returns in a form truer to the photo-novella.
