Trees are a cen­tral image in the pho­to­gra­phy of Robert Adams. Cot­ton­woods pro­vi­des a spe­cial facet of this admi­red photographer’s visi­on. Adams, known for his striking por­tra­yals of the dicho­to­my bet­ween natu­re and civi­liz­a­ti­on, here offers a selec­tion of pre­vious­ly unpu­blis­hed pho­to­graphs which he has been taking sin­ce 1975, wit­hin a fif­ty mile radi­us of his home in Colorado.

“Cot­ton­woods can seem human – they seem to rejoice, and they seem to suf­fer. But the also seem to know a still­ness that we can’t expe­ri­ence, at least not for long. May­be we are not even sup­po­sed to, given our minds and con­sci­en­ces. But the examp­le of trees does sug­gest a har­mo­ny for which it seems right to dream.” – Robert Adams
