Robert Adams: Along Some Rivers: Photographs and Conversations
"There's an intense melancholy to his images, a deep sadness in the beauty he captures that reveals the natural world at its most vulnerable... The reader is taken on a visual journey across sun-drenched gullies, down river-banks bending with old trees and to the final brutal crime scene of a clear cut." -- Mark Hillringhouse --Photo-Eye: The International Magazine of Photography Books"...Robert Adams embraces an affirmative approach to art, seeking hope and wholeness, and this is not a solitary pursuit... Adams sees the West of today as a place of ruined but not lost beauty and promise, and doesn't stint in his effort to share this vision with his readers and viewers." -- R.K. Dickson --R.K. Dickson"If a tree falls in the forest, Robert Adams will more than likely be there to photograph it. This photographer of the West has made it his life's work to document our changing environment. This book, a pairing of conversations Adams had with various curators, writers and students about his work, offers a unique view into the working mind of this most erudite of photographers."  -- B&W;: Black & White Magazine, For Collectors of Fine Photography"American photographer Robert Adams contemplates his photographic practice through a combination of intelligent and insightful photo literature and photography. His images are concerned with the environment, and the impact industrialisation and the modern world are having on it." -- Ben Brain  -- Amateur Photographer"[the photographs] are in the same ponderous, modest style we have come to know from Adams. His conversations follow the same pattern - with examples of his quiet humour thrown in - and are all the more enjoyable to read for it." -- Ailsa McWhinnie  -- Black&White; Photography: Dedicated to the Monochrome Photographer
