Bradford Washburn Mountain Photography

In Bradford Washburn: Mountain Photography, one hundred large-format mountain
photographs, selected from more than 10,000 images, take the reader through
Washburn’s lifetime of accomplishments. Aerial images of high mountains,
looking more like bold relief maps, are captured in extreme raking light.
There are picture essays of early Alaskan expeditions-striking modern still
lifes of supply caches and camp conditions-plus portraits of team members and
colorful characters and situations encountered along the way. Additional
aerial photographs reveal, in breathtaking clarity, the workings of the earth,
continuously transformed by upheavals and erosions, and the slow march and
retreat of glaciers.

An in-depth Washburn interview by Antony Decaneas brings a voice to the life
portrayed in images. Also included is an extensive, unique chronology of the
major events in Washburn’s life and career, illustrated with 40 additional
images.
