Landscapes of the West.

There’s a fine biography of Morley Baer (1916-1995) in Wikipedia. Baer was a WW2 Navy combat photographer who turned to architectural and landscape photography. His architectural work is more severe than that of the California master, Julius Shulman and his fine landscape work shows none of the tasteless over processing beloved by Ansel Adams and his three billion copyists. I can promise you there are no images of White Birches in this book.

I purchased Light Years, a large format (12″ x 12.5″) book of his images, well printed, for $50 from the publisher, Photography West Graphics in their retail store in Carmel – the price listed on their web site is incorrect.
