CAPTURING LIGHT CL by Drew Heath Johnson

"Everything worth photographing is in California."Edward Weston A stunning visual history that celebrates 150 years of California's greatest photographers. From rare daguerreotypes of gold prospectors to Edward Weston's intimate portraiture, from glamour shots of Hollywood starlets to Dorothea Lange's arresting Dust Bowl imagery, Capturing Light offers a rich, extensive survey of the master photographers who have shaped the consciousness of a stateand a nationfor more than a century and a half. This lush book's 200 color plates reflect the pioneer spirit and avant-garde sensibility of California, including works from such greats as Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Edward S. Curtis, Oscar Maurer, and Carrie Mae Weems. Capturing Light also offers an illuminating series of essays by scholars who elucidate and in some cases prophesy how California's photographers have forever changed the medium of photography and affected a nation's conscience and aesthetic sensibility. Capturing Light is an essential work for any lover of photography and for those who seek the essence of California. An exhibition based on the book begins at the Oakland Museum in March 2001. 200 color plates.
