Description "SAGUAROS" – SIGNEDPhotography by Mark KlettPublished by Radius Books, Santa Fe, 2007SPECIAL DELUXE LIMITED EDITION of 50 COPIES with SIGNED PRINTMark Klett, a resident of Arizona, has been intimately tied to the Desert Southwest since his work on the Rephotographic Survey Project in the late 1970s. This work reproduced the same views of the American West taken by pioneering photographers in the nineteenth century. He continued working in the West and also on his rephotographic survey work. During this time he has photographed the endemic, nearly animate, saguaro cacti of the Sonoran Desert. From the publisher: "His portraits of these giants cacti, made from the beginning of his career to the present, are straightforward and frontal, objective yet inspired. Klett is known for teasing out the implications of man's presence—both historical and recreational—in the landscape. In this case, vital young saguaros, middle-aged contenders with gunshot wounds, and wizened elders are treated as wise inhabitants."Gregory McNamee, a prolific writer and Sonoran Desert resident, provides an essay for the book.
