David Plowden: Vanishing Point: Fifty Years of Photography

This beautiful volume is both a tribute to and a celebration of\nthe photographer who, more than anyone else, has given us a visual\nrecord of our mark on the land over the last half-century. David\nPlowden \“s beautiful black-and-white images reveal his great\nrespect for man \"s ingenuity and honest work, documenting a\ndisappearing landscape of industry, small towns, wonderful devices,\nand noble structures.David McCullough writes, SPlowden has produced\nsome of the most powerful photographs we have of man-made America.\nHe is propelled, driven, by a sense of time running out and the\nfeeling that he must not just make a record, but confer a kind of\nimmortality on certain aspects of American civilization before they\nvanish. As Walker Evans gave us the first half of the twentieth\ncentury, David Plowden has given us the second. David Plowden:\nVanishing Point represents the best of this magnificent body\nof work.
