 | Explore Unconventional Western Photography
| | Robert Adams: The Place We Live, A Retrospective Selection of Photographs offers a comprehensive look at the work of a 20th century master who challenges conventional ideas of landscape photography. Adams spent years in the Denver area as a child and then returned in the 1960s after college to find surprising growth in Colorado. That's when he began to photograph the contrast of suburban development against pristine landscape. A special member preview of the exhibition is set for September 24, with the show opening to the public September 25. A four-week class, Looking at Photography, will be offered in conjunction with the exhibition. Explore the pleasures and mysteries of looking at photographs with DAM curator of photography Eric Paddock. Mike’s Camera and Canon are presenting sponsors of this exhibition, organized by the Yale University Art Gallery.
