Spiritual January 13, 2005
Hiscano's work is like a prayer. He evokes the creator and holds man to the side for a moment. By leaving us outside the frame, he touches us deeply. We remember our source and claim it as our heritage.
Dwights photographs have the power to heal.

that a person like Mr. Hiscano is out there documenting the last few wild places in New Jersey. He's a modern day Thoreau using the lens instead of pen and paper to capture something more than just pretty images. Instead of producing just another coffee-table paperweight, Mr. Hiscano's startling photographs display the few remaining natural treasures of this State and seem to ask the viewer what have you or what will you do to help preserve and protect these sites for future generations.

Amazing photographs wrapped with interesting narrative. Dwight Hiscano's passion for the Garden State and the great outdoors is evident in New Jersey, The Natural State. The book, in my opinion, ranks at the top for "coffee table"-types for a few reasons: fellow New Jerseyans will enjoy the memories these photographs renew...Summers down the shore, Autumn hikes through birch forests, backpacking the Highlands; those who appreciate the art of photography will find that the images deliver a powerful emotional punch considering the bad rap that NJ endures; lastly, the reader learns about the geography and natural habitat of the Garden State through Mr. Hiscano's interesting and frank narrative. You will not put it down!

I am lucky to know Dwight Hiscano personaly for more than 10 years. He is the fine man and exceptional photographer. Everybody who comes to my house and sees Dwight's prints on my walls is asking "Where did you get those images?". Being a professional graphic designer myself I know great photography when I see it. Dwight Hiscano is definitely one of the best nature photographers of our days. If you appreciate nature and interested in photography it's the book to have.
Breathtaking and inspirational photography June 29, 2000
You'll be surprised and inspired by Dwight's NJ! Dwight Hiscano captures the New Jersey that the stereotype-writers must have never seen -- inspiring waterfalls, fields of flowers that would do Monet proud, majestic mountains and pastoral countryside. From those of us who live in New Jersey, thank you for showing us how much precious beauty we still need to preserve!
