Description
Newfoundland is a place that simply can never be caught, but that has not stopped Ray Mackey from chasing her. He is in the office when he is travelling the back roads and remote coves and villages of the province. His eye for beauty imbues each photograph with a quality not easily given over to words. This remarkable collection does justice to one of the world's most unique landscapes.
From Fogo to St. John's to St Lunaire-Griquet and towns and villages up and down the coast, Mackey catches glimpses of this magnificent island like no photographer has caught her before. Newfoundland is in Ray Mackey's blood, and Chasing Newfoundland is his love letter to the province. Come along and chase Newfoundland with him.

Editorial Reviews
MASTERFUL
"Windswept mountains and rolling hills. Sun bleached houses and fishing stages. Atlantic-sculpted icebergs and rugged shores. Wild flowers and breaching whales. Sunsets inventing new colours through night's arrival. Newfoundland in all her beauty. Ray Mackay's mastery of light and his dedicated patience in creating a book of perfect Newfoundland moments in stunning photographs, makes Chasing Newfoundland my top book recommendation to have and to gift."
— Diane Davis, administrator/creator Newfoundland Iceberg Reports
MAGICAL
"Chasing Newfoundland is a visual masterpiece that captures the truly unique essence of Newfoundland, by the one person that could accomplish such an incredible and almost impossible task. Ray Mackey has a very rare and magical gift, and this book is everyone's chance to experience Newfoundland like never before." — Chris Davis, photographer and filmmaker
GORGEOUS
"Ray Mackey is blessed with a unique ability to not only capture the incredible beauty of Newfoundland, but also to convey the mood so vividly that we can feel the wind and hear the sea. His gorgeous images portray a profound love of Newfoundland. They evoke powerful memories of how I remember the incredible places I've visited during my time on The Rock. Whether you're an Islander or you're from away, you'll be captivated by Ray's images. Ray photographs Newfoundland beauty like no other!"
— John Dolson, Newfoundland addict and photographer
STUNNING
"Ray Mackey is a man who quietly finds his way to the ocean, to the coves and rural towns along coastal Newfoundland and captures an intimate perspective with grace and grandeur. He shares his vision, with the release of a shutter, creating photographs as timeless, as stunning and as powerful as nature itself."
— Pat Thompson, landscape photographer
