Editorial Review Product Description Covering nearly 20,000 square miles, the Nebraska Sandhills are the largest sand dune formation in America. Consisting primarily of grass and wetland, the Sandhills are inhospitable to agriculture and had been thought to be nothing more than forbidding desert until cattle ranchers turned the Sandhills into one of the most productive ranching regions in the country in the late nineteenth century. Like the ranchers before him, David Owen found his place in the Sandhills of Nebraska. A widely travelled Episcopal minister and photographer, Owen and his wife moved from their home in Connecticut to become Nebraskans, and Like No Other Place documents his experience of this uniquely American place and its people. Throughout Like No Other Place, Owen is both photographer and storyteller as he connects the everyday activities of the ranchers and residents he encounters to the vast, isolated landscape. Owen provides a fascinating, firsthand look at a simple, though hardly simplistic, existence. Featuring poetry, song, recipes, and traditions within Owen’s narrative, Like No Other Place celebrates a remote and unfamiliar corner of the United States. Customer Reviews (3)

Editorial Review Product Description Dreams in Dry Places has an architecture of its own, beginning and ending with images of the natural landscape and in between revealing unexpected continuities among disparate structures and settings, juxtapositions of forms, and the vanities and vagaries of architectural style. Exterior and interior shots are combined to show how a sense of openness pervades design. The 118 photographs are in black and white--the color of dreams. In his introduction Bruhn writes, "With images alone, I hope to make you feel something about striving, about aspirations, about dreams." |

very few advices...
Excellent and very thorough, some color photos would be nice
Is there a more enjoyable photography author?No! Only complaint is they should have included color plates to really show the results the author accomplishes in her own work rather than the dreary black and white printing throughout the book.I certainly would have paid the extra few bucks for that.

16. Articles of Faith: African-American Community Churches in Chicago (Center for American Places - Center Books on American Places) by Dave Jordano | |

Editorial Review Product Description In this era of suburban mega-churches and televised Sunday morning services, it is easy to forget that many Americans worship in small, community churches whose sanctuaries are often repurposed commercial spaces. In Articles of Faith, photographer Dave Jordano documents the at once humble and dynamic storefront churches of Chicago’s African American neighborhoods. These churches, which dot the south and west sides of the city, are truly community churches—individualized and idiosyncratic, they cater to the specific needs and wants of their members. For the last five years, Jordano has spent his weekends traveling to different churches in the city, getting to know their pastors and parishioners. And this attention to personal detail is highly evident in his exquisite photographs that capture the identity and personalities of each church, from the hand-lettered signs to the icons. His interior images of the sacred spaces illustrate how the congregants create a comforting environment of affirmation, hope, and family for members who often live in neighborhoods marked by high crime and troubled homes. Infused in the space of these makeshift churches is also a sense of history that traces back to a time in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when one of the only forms of open expression available to African Americans was religious practice. These powerful and reverent images illuminate a vital component of urban life for many African Americans and speak to the links between the past and present African American experience.

An excellent introduction to the "Canyon de Chelly School." Like the "Taos Artists" who created some of the best original American art, Canyon de Chelly has inspired its own "school" of painting and photography.Hagerty has done a masterful job of summarizing the "Canyon de Chelly School" (my label, but it should become official) of art for the past century.It's unfortunate he mostly ignores Native American art from pre-historic to modern times if the Canyon--but that topic may well deserve a separate analysis of its own. First of all, Canyon de Chelly is far more believable than the Grand Canyon, which is so huge and so deep that it defies belief.It's possible to stand on the rim and see people and buildings at the bottom of Canyon de Chelly, where the greatest depth is about 1,000 feet.The Grand Canyon is a mile deep, its vistas simply melt into infinity. The almost 100 illustrations range from the sublime (Ansel Adams 1941 photo of White House Ruin) to the silly (Woody Gwyn's 1994 painting of the parking lot next to Antelope House ruin).If the most beautiful thing we can experience is the sense of the mysterious, as Albert Einstein once described the true source of all art and science, then these artists did capture the essence of Canyon de Chelly (the name is adapted from the Navajo "tse"--meaning rock, which is pronounced "shay"). One great advantage is the inclusion of recent artwork, showing how the non-Navajo perception of the Canyon has changed.Art a century ago featured Navajos in the Canyon--just as Taos artists emphasized people;today, Canyon paintings are mostly empty landscapes, as though today's Navajos are an oddity .Navajo artists, of course, still include people--but then, the Canyon is their home and not a distant mystery. Many artists, in Hagerty's words, see "Canyon de Chelly as solid and eternal, a place of solace and escape from pressures of modern American culture."Personally, I think of it as a place of living people, and the beauty which surrounds their lives.Chaco Canyon is the vast empty ruined cathedral from people who have vanished into the mists of time;the Grand Canyon is the window into eternity. Each locale generates a unique artistic depiction, which really hinges on living in the place, or it fades from artistic consciousness.Be that as it may, and Hagerty doesn't delve into such esoteric speculation; he does offer an informed, relevant, intelligent and ongoing look at a truly original element of American art. The Taos school seems frozen in time even though gigantic in its own legends, the "Canyon de Chelly School" is continually evolving and experimenting with new forms.Taos artist Barbara Zaring is interesting but unreal in her 1980s paintings;Phoenix artist Ed Mell, despite his overlooking the Navajo inhabitants of the Canyon, offers a fresh 1990s view. There is no "best" portrayal of the Canyon--though my favorite is Adams 1941 photo-- and Hagerty doesn't imply that one exists.He simply and eloquently offers an excellent overview, giving artists, patrons, collectors and viewers alike an intelligent insight into a very original and significant element of the American art scene. Suffice to say, no serious collection of American art should be without a portrait of Canyon de Chelly.Hagerty provides a wonderful introductory service, which makes his book perfect for all artists, viewers and people with an interest in the beauty of America. ...
