Notes for Friends: Along Colorado Roads
Denver: Center of the American West / University Press of Colorado, 1999.
First Edition. Paperback.
From the publisher: "In Notes For Friends, Robert Adams explores the possibility of discovering beauty in the compromised landscape of the new American West. His photographs, rendering the landscape in rich black-and-white images, clearly demonstrate that beauty can be found, suggesting a new kind of exploration that could yield a transforming discovery - the basis for a love of home. Pictures in the book reacquaint us with places that we may have lost to habit or prejudice. Robert Adams encourages us to walk minor roads that at first appear inconsequential, but that in fact lead to wonder. Light rains its miracle on fields next to suburban developments, across the slopes of nameless foothills, and onto trees next to expressways."
Robert Adams has said, about photographing in the American West - "What I'd like to share with friends are the times when defeat didn't seem to be the whole story, when it was clear that there was something else, equally true, to be acknowledged."
