About This Item
Owl Books (NY) (1996), 1996. Paperback. Very Good. Octavo, softcover, VG in glossy black and white pictorial wraps. Alinder--who collaborated with Adams on his memoir and was his assistant in later life--is not reticent about the major emotional episodes in Adams's life, including his marriage and extramarital affairs, and his not-altogether-successful fatherhood. She explores the major artistic influences on his work and gives in-depth profiles of the significant figures in his circle. She also explains the technique and style Adams developed to obtain his unique vision, as well as his uneasiness at becoming a commodity. ~ an intimate and provocative portrait of the world's most famous photographer. 487 pp. including index.
