The Endless Sphere of Time is a project that Geir and Kate have worked on for over a decade. Together, they developed this book project using Geir's spherical photographs. These images were made with a variety of extremely wide-angle lenses that Geir has used to see the world in a full, round way. As you turn the pages of this book, the unique circular photographs become portals, mirrors, globes, and crystal balls. Like the Jordahls' previous book, Searching for True North, the images are combined with the poetry of Norwegian poet, Rolf Jacobsen, brilliantly translated by Roger Greenwald. There is a call and response between the words and the images, expanding the story in each chapter. With thoughtful, responsive essays by Scott Landford and Ann Jastrab, the book is rich in words and images woven into The Endless Sphere of Time.

"Thirty years of traveling around the world has imbued Norwegian-born photographer and teacher Geir Jordahl with a firm belief that an essential aspect of his creative vision is rooted in travel–literally and figuratively. For Jordahl, exploring the imagination is a worthwhile journey. He investigates the specifics of place within the realm of imagination. In his photography, Jordahl examines his relationship to space and experience by interacting with its periphery through the use of panoramic vision.... Through the use of hemispherical photography and an extreme wide-angle lens, Jordahl invites the viewer to embrace a different way of experiencing a photographic image."
