Recollections, John Sexton's highly anticipated fourth book, invites the viewer into contemplative landscapes and human-made environments filled with vibrant luminosity. Seen through Sexton's eyes, his subjects are transformed into images of tranquility, wonder, and mystery. From the purity of a fresh snowfall in Yosemite Valley to the enigmatic rock forms of the Colorado Plateau, he explores the subtle nuances of details rather than grand vistas. The fifty-five images included in Recollectionsnone of which have appeared in Sexton's previous booksprovide moving testimony to his love of light and his dedication to revealing the beauty of the planet. In his foreword, well-known curator, writer, and photographer Arthur Ollman states, "Sexton's images identify harmony, balance, power, stillness, or even sanctuary." Respected photographer Ray McSavaney presents an engaging personal account of adventures shared with Sexton in his afterword, while Sexton, in his photographer's notes, relates experiences and challenges encountered while photographing in the field and working in the darkroom. Marked by the same excellence in printing and design as Sexton's three previous award-winning books, Quiet Light, Listen to the Trees, and Places of Power, Recollections promises an equally memorable experience.Sexton, John is the author of 'Recollections Three Decades of Photography' with ISBN 9780967218885 and ISBN 0967218888.
