What Can We Believe Where: Photographs of the American West

Robert Adams

4.9/5 (11053 ratings)

Description:"In common with many photographers, I began making pictures because I wanted to record what supports hope: the untranslatable mystery and beauty of the world. Along the way, however, the camera also caught evidence against hope, and I eventually concluded that this too belonged in pictures if they were to be truthful and thus useful." Robert Adams What Can We Believe Where? offers a narrative sequence of more than one hundred tritone images that reveal a steadfast concern for mankind's increasingly tragic relationship with the natural world. Adams' understated yet arresting pictures of the vast Colorado plains, the rapid suburbanization of the Denver and Colorado Springs areas, and the ecological devastation of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States register with subtle precision the complex and often fragile beauty of the scenes they depict. Guided by three fundamental questions, "What does our geography compel us to believe? What does it allow us to believe? And what obligations, if any, follow from our beliefs?," Adams' work is distinguished not only by its economy and lucidity, but also by its mixture of grief and affirmation. While acknowledging an impoverishing loss of space and silence, he remains alert to the resilient beauty that can be seen in our altered geographies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
