Beauty in Photography: Essays in Defense of Traditional Values

Why People Photograph is a book by a professional photographer about the relationship of art and life.

The Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography for 2009 has been awarded to Robert Adams. The award exhibition will be opened on November 6, 2009 at the Hasselblad Foundation, Göteborg, Sweden.

Robert Adams, one of America’s foremost living photographers, has spent years documenting the landscape of the American West. A professor of English before turning to photography, Adams is also a skilled writer and acute thinker on aesthetic questions.

In this exquisitely produced book Robert Adams revisits the classic collection of nocturnal landscapes that he began making in the mid-1970s near his former home in Longmont, Colorado.

"Turning Back: A Photographic Journal of Re-Exploration" is published to coincide with the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which reported finding a vast forest of ancient evergreens in the American Northwest.
