Product Description
A lifetime's meditation on photography and the landscape.
Frank Gohlke has been a leading figure in American landscape photography for over thirty years. He has photographed grain silos in Minnesota, the aftermath of a tornado in Texas, the destruction and rebirth of the land after the Mount St. Helens eruption in Washington, and a riverâs quiet course in Massachusetts. His is a career of deep, unbroken contemplation of the enduring landscape and of our place within it. And for nearly as long as Gohlke has been photographing the landscape, he has been writing about it.
In the spirit of Henri Cartier-Bresson's seminal book, "The Mindâs Eye", and Robert Adams's "Beauty in Photography", Gohlkeâs writings on photography span from the philosophical to the personal. In interviews, essays, artist statements, and lectures, Gohlke focuses both on his own work and life, and on the works and lives of the photographers around him. Woven throughout is his affection for and loyalty to the landscape around him, and his uncanny ability to convey the richness of his experience to readers--in words just as in images.

photography book August 11, 2010
Ron W. Evans (Charlottesville, Virginia)
Just received this small paperback book entitled Thoughts on Landscape by the photographer Frank Gohlke. If you make photographs, regardless of the content, you should have this book. Gohlke does a wonderful job of expressing what's on his mind when he trips the camera shutter, and what goes on before and after. The writing is down to earth, articulate, and insightful from a photographer that has been involved in making photographs for most of his life. If you have passion for photography, get this book. If you don't have passion for photography, this may begin to move you in that direction.
