The photographer's series of landscape photographs in the classic, large-scale tradition of Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, one of very few contemporary female (or male) photographers to attempt such an ambitious project. "She extends the tradition in photographs that are both sensuous and lyrical yet subtle and complex. Chamlee's beautiful and arresting photographs transcend their recognizable subject matter while remaining deeply rooted in her profound connection to the natural world" (Publisher's blurb) . Paula Chamlee began her career as a painter before turning exclusively to photography. It is no wonder then that these landscapes are truly monumental, showing "the intensity of her vision, which reverberates like solemn and glorious music" (Estelle Jussim) . An absolute "must-have" title for Paula Chamlee collectors. This copy is one of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 250 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Front Limitation Page (Number 148) . It is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in black pen by Paula Chamlee. This title is a late-modern photography classic.
