Synopses & Reviews
""Oregon IV"" is a superb work that carries on the photographic tradition begun in 1968 with the book Oregon. This new volume is the result of five years of work by forty-year-old Rick Schafer, stepson and protege of the late Ray Atkeson.
Rick's images convey familiar scenes and evocative places such as the deep, mysterious caves of the Siskiyou Mountains, the perfect clarity of Crater Lake, the brilliant fields of wildflowers in the Cascade Range, and the majesty of Multnomah Falls. From Seaside to the Wallowas, from The Dalles to Klamath Lake, the splendor of Oregon is captured in this inspiring book.
Award-winning author Craig Lesley's moving essay conveys Oregonians' love of their state, evoking the nostalgia of long days fishing Oregon's rolling rivers, the dust of rodeos, the neighborliness of its people, and the dazzling beauty of its wild places.
