Welcome to the Toni Harting Page
Antoni (Toni) Harting migrated to Canada from The
Netherlands in 1970 and has lived in Toronto with his wife
and canoeing partner, Ria, ever since. He holds two Master
of Applied Science degrees in Aerospace Engineering, but left
his consulting engineering profession in 1974 to build a new
career as a freelance writer-photographer specializing in
canoe topics, particularly wilderness canoeing.
Over the years he has become the international expert in padding
photography and the products of his work have been widely
published in numerous books, articles, brochures, posters,
manuals, catalogues, calendars, book reviews, reports and
logos. Several of his photographs are included in private
art collections. For many years he has presented illustrated
lectures and courses on subjects related to wilderness canoeing.
In 1993 one of his photographs was used in the design of a
postage stamp by Canada Post. In 1996 Toni published the important
book French River: Canoeing the River of the Stick-Wavers
(The Boston Mills Press), and he is now recognized as the
leading authority on canoeing that historic river. His book
Shooting Paddlers: Photographic Adventures with Canoeists,
Kayakers and Rafters was published by Natural Heritage Books
in 2000. He is the editor of Nastawgan, the quarterly journal
of the Wilderness Canoe
Association

FRENCH RIVER: Canoeing the River of the Stick-Wavers
is the first book to document the exhilarating days
of exploration, adventure, and trade on the French River
system. It is also a guidebook written by the man who
knows the French River perhaps better than anyone else.
Toni Harting combines in-depth historical research with
years of canoeing and guiding experience, and his own
photography and original maps with sketches and maps
by early explorers, to create an engaging and comprehensive
look at one of Canada's most historically important
rivers. This remarkable work also features historic
canoe routes and suggests canoe trips lasting from one
day to more than two weeks.
The book can be purchased from The Lodge at Pine Cove
by sending an email to info@frenchriver.com.
We will ship you a copy for CDN$34.95 (US$28.00) plus
7% tax and shipping charges.

SHOOTING PADDLERS: Photographic Adventures With Canoeists,
Kayakers and Rafters is the first book published anywhere
that presents so much relevant knowledge and useful advice
on the why's and how's of paddling photography. The book's
purpose is to strengthen the ability of amateur and professional
photographers to first discover and then record meaningful
images encountered when travelling in canoes, kayaks or
rafts. The text, supported by an array of thoughtfully
selected visuals, provides a wealth of specialized information
that, for the most part, is difficult if not impossible
to find in books on general photography. The more than
200 black-and-white and color photographs are discussed
through the presentation of one or more visuals on a page,
each supported by an analysis that includes explanations,
facts, recommendations and other helpful background instruction.
The book can be purchased from The Lodge at Pine Cove
by sending an email to info@frenchriver.com.
We will ship you a copy for CDN$29.95 (US$23.00) plus
7% tax and shipping charges.
