OverviewRanging in scale from tree bark to the vast emptiness of the desert Southwest, John Ward's elegant photographs integrate landscape and ruin, transcendence and decay, and speak to the powerful forces of nature and culture at work in the West. This beautifully produced duotone volume of pristine vistas contrasting with crumbling edifices showcases a photographer at the peak of his form and lays bare Ward's deep concern for this rugged but fragile environment.
