Local author/photographer publishes first book based on Arizona landscape

Though the beauty of Arizona's desert landscape has many times been photographed and published, Adriel Heisey's images of the desert are different in one profound way - all his photographs are taken from the air.

Heisey, a local author/photographer, will appear at the University of Arizona Bookstore tomorrow to sign and talk about his latest publication, "Under the Sun: A Sonoran Desert Odyssey."

Not only has Heisey toured the nation exhibiting his photography, but he was also featured in a National Geographic cover story for a portion of his work, taken while he lived in the Four Corners area.
