About this title

Synopsis

This elegant book is the culmination of the efforts of a husband-and-wife team of photographers to capture the spectacular, mystical landscape of the Southwest that is Ghost Ranch. Although best known as a desert retreat for artists such as Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keeffe, Ghost Ranch has a long and colorful history dating to prehistoric times. Printed in a stunning tritone method, the images in this book reproduce the hand-toned effects of the original prints with remarkable clarity and astonishing accuracy.

Review

The couple's intention was not to document Ghost Ranch, but rather to answer the question of what Ghost ranch meant to them and how to interpret those feelings through a lens on a flat piece of light-sensitive material. The answers Scheinbaum and Russek found to their question have been the subject of an exhibition at the Santa Fe Museum of Fine Arts and are beautifully reproduced in the book Ghost Ranch: Land of Light. -- Peterson Photographic
