On Fire

Informationen zum Autor Larry Schwarm Klappentext "Larry Schwarm's photographs of fire on the prairie are so compelling that I cannot imagine any later photographer trying to do better. His pictures convince us that seemingly far away events are close by, relevant to any serious person's life. The photographer engages our attention first by heightening our amazement at the sensuality of fire. Most of us have enjoyed looking into a fireplace, but few of us have observed as well as he has the astonishing shapes and colors and fluidity of fire. He is so skilled in recording its appearance that occasionally we almost hear the burning and feel the warmth."--Robert Adams Zusammenfassung Fire is an essential element of the ecosystem. Every spring! the expanses of tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills of east-central Kansas undergo controlled burning. This photo-book documents and captures the essence of fires and their personalities - ranging from calm and lyrical to angry and raging.
