| From his days as Ansel Adam’s darkroom assistant to the completion of his fourth book "Recollections", John Sexton has demonstrated a mastery of craft in fine art photography, and a unique vision reflecting his passion for the natural world. His photographic work transforms everyday scenes from the landscape into beautiful images that become powerful or serene, meditative or provoking. Browsing through Recollections is like taking a vacation from the mundane world and glimpsing visual vignettes of the world’s beauty and soul.
Similar to his previous editions, this greatly anticipated book is now highly acclaimed and it will surely sell out. In 2007 alone, Recollections has received awards from SAPPI North America Printers of the Year Awards, Independent Publisher Book Awards, Prix de la Photographie Paris PX3 Competition, Applied Arts Photo Illustration Awards, Applied Arts Photo Illustration Awards, American Graphic Design Awards, ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Awards, and International Photography Awards.
In addition to the 55 stunning Laser Fultone reproductions, Recollections includes an illuminating foreword by well-known curator, writer, and photographer Arthur Ollman, as well as an engaging personal afterword by respected photographer Ray McSavaney. In his photographer’s notes, John Sexton relates adventures and challenges encountered while working in the field and in the darkroom. Recollections is 140 pages and is 12” by 12” in size. |
