Description
Trees have been a subject of lifelong engagement for Robert Adams, and no species has enthralled him more than the cottonwood. Revered by the Plains Indians, native cottonwoods animate the landscape unforgettably but their thirst for water and lack of commercial value have made them common targets for removal by agribusiness and housing developers. Some of Adams' earliest pictures were of cottonwoods, and he photographed them throughout the thirty-five years he lived in Colorado. Originally published by the Smithsonian in 1994 as a part of the series "Photographers at Work," this new edition of Cottonwoods has been expanded and enlarged.
ReviewsRobert Adams has been photographing the shifting landscape of the American West for more than 50 years. The impact of human development on land has been his principal focus, as well as nature's beauty - most notably the imperial qualities of trees.-- "PDN"
