This beautiful volume is both a tribute to and a celebration
of the photographer who, more than anyone else, has given us
a visual record of our mark on the land over the last
half-century. David Plowden's beautiful black-and-white
images reveal his great respect for man's ingenuity and
honest work, documenting a disappearing landscape of
industry, small towns, wonderful devices, and noble structures. David McCullough writes, "Plowden has produced some of the
most powerful photographs we have of man-made America. He is
propelled, driven, by a sense of time running out and the
feeling that he must not just make a record, but confer a
kind of immortality on certain aspects of American
civilization before they vanish." As Walker Evans gave us
the first half of the twentieth century, David Plowden has
given us the second. David Plowden: Vanishing Point
represents the best of this magnificent body of work. 280
duotone photographs.
