Hiltrud Schulz is a Massachusetts-based food and travel photographer. Recent books she photographed include Kilimanjaro: A Photographic Journey to the Roof of Africa and Puerto Rico: On the Road History.
Michel Moushabeck, a writer, editor, publisher and musician, and Hiltrud Schulz, a freelance travel photographer, have been hiking together for nearly a decade. They live in Leverett, Massachusetts.
A chance encounter with travel guide writer Jacquetta Megarry (Kilimanjaro: Summit of Africa) led Moushabeck, owner of Interlink Publishing, and his wife, Schulz, a freelance travel photographer, to a week-long stint in Tanzania and Mount Kilimanjaro. In this partly technical but mostly personal guide, Moushabeck devotes almost as many words to his fellow trekkers, guides, and porters as to the mountain. But while recounting every step of the journey, the author struggles to convey the mountain's majesty and the emotional and physical impact of the trek, occasionally relying on Schulz's photographs to make his point. Verdict This would find an appreciative audience among armchair travelers and collectors of travelogs and photo books. Those planning a trek up the mountain should consult a more technical guidebook.-Anna Creech, Univ. of Richmond, VA Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
