Format:Paperback
Robert Adams has been photographing the American landscape for more than 40 years, and his body of work will be regarded as one of the greatest of any 20th-21st century photographer. He has published many collections; buy any of them, and give yourself time to enjoy and be moved. Better, look at his original prints. They are breathtakingly good. He is also a very fine writer- that was his background- and no other photographer has captured so well for me the reason we take pictures. It's like having an opportunity to sit and listen to a master talking about what makes him want to do what he does. "Beauty in Photography" was his first set of essays. Both are remarkable works; brief, elegantly written, moving and life-affirming. Don't miss out

One of the most interesting books about photography I've ever read, written in a language accessible to everyone, but touching very serious matters.
I would certainly recomend it!!

I recommend this book to anyone who loves photography and good writing. Its given me a lot to think about, and I am enjoying following up on some of the photographers he writes about - Strand, Atget for example. This is a good book for anyone who feels they might have become 'jaded' in their photography - it lifts the spirits. Excellent.
