Author: Adams, RobertFor more than 50 years, the legendary American photographer Robert Adams has made austere, rigourously composed black-and-white photographs documenting the imprint of human development on the landscape of the American West. In 'Along the Canadian Border', Adams obliquely addresses our fraught societal moment, alluding to the distance between brutal political forces and policies and the resilience of the natural world. Turning his camera to the sky, he presents 10 luminous photographs of clouds, each indifferent to human boundaries and conflicts. Adams borrows the title of the book from a poem by William Stafford, who writes that, in the face of strife and pomp, “the only heroic thing is the sky.”ISBN 9781881337584.
