About the Author:

Walter Pfeiffer regards himself as one of the lost generation who was born during the second world war in Germany. He grew up in the rural Eifel region, helping out on his grandparents' small subsistence farm. He ascribes his affinity to land and nature to this early experience. In 1964, Walter visited Ireland. He returned the following year and he has since lived and worked in Ireland. Walter has crested two highly regarded landscape photography books: Wicklow: A Personal View (2000) and Connemara & Beyond (2005). He is also responsible for some of Ireland's iconic art, notably the posters on writers, dressers and doorways.
