Experience the quirky missteps, humorous adventures, and professional development of a renowned Canadian photographer in this entertaining memoir.
Join Canadian photographer, explorer, Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, father, and writer Dave Brosha as he lays out a touching recollection of a life off the beaten track with a dash of adventure, a dash of determination, a dash of humour, a dash of self-deprecation, and two dashes of ridiculous.
Life shouldn't be about a collection of possessions, but rather a mΓ©lange of experiences. Dave leaves no holds barred in the retelling of some of his grand (mis)adventures as one of Canada's premier adventure photographers in The Art of Misadventure.
