Photographer Nathan Farb continues to express his
love for northern New York's
six million acre park in his new book,
"Adirondack Wilderness." Farb has been looking
closely at the
Adirondacks for over 50 years and with his 8" by 10" view camera he
captures in great detail the unique beauty of the region.
These extraordinary photographs also provide visual clues to the
natural and man-made changes in the landscape and Farb,
with the
support of The Nature Conservancy, includes scientific information
about just
what is revealed in the book's stunning images.
In his foreward to the book, novelist Russell Banks calls these
images "cartographic"
in that they are "eye-maps" designed to lead
us into and through the Adirondacks. The
book culminates with an
essay by the well-known New Yorker writer, Bill McKibben,
who has
called Farb "the photographic laureate of the Adirondacks."
