Opis

"The American Rockies" presents an extraordinary visual diary of Gus Foster's Rocky Mountain odyssey with his panoramic camera. Foster climbed the major peaks along the backbone of the continent from the Canadian border to the border with Mexico, photographing the spectacular landscape sometimes at greater than 360 degrees. As James Enyeart writes in "A Traveler's Notebook" "A lifetime of travel places Gus Foster in a succession of artists who have gained insight and inspiration from the exotic and unfamiliar." Foster's panoramic photographs enable even the armchair traveler to experience the enormous grandeur of the Rockies.

Essays included are by James Enyeart, Anne and John Marion Professor of Photographic Arts and the Director of the Marion Center at the College of Santa Fe; Alan Wallach, Ralph H. Wark Professor of Art and Art History and Professor of American Studies at the College of William and Mary; Roger Badash, Foster's longtime climbing companion; and Gus Foster.
