Ohio: A Bicentennial Portrait

Ohio's 200th birthday is here and so is Ian Adams' masterful photographic exposition, Ohio: A Bicentennial Portrait. With three hundred lush Ohio photographs that he has selected for this composite portrait; Ohio's premier landscape photographer treats Ohioans to a grand tour of their state's natural and historical treasures, arranged into chapters on Ohio's rocks, flowers, factories, conveyances, public art, schools, farms, seasons and wilds. Stephen Ostrander, pundit of all things Ohioan, serves up a delicious but nutritious essay on each of Adams' pictorial themes. Adams and Ostrander summon all their artistic skill and close study to portray the beautiful face of Ohio as it was, as it still is, as it has changed, and as it may be again. Signed by the author.
