Scenes of wonder & curiosity

About this book

Ted Orlando is a seasoned and dedicated photographer who started out as Ansel Adams's assistant. Orlando was a member of the inner sanctum of photographers who transformed photography, he saw it all. And yet the book has more than this, it is the record of a life dedicated to a medium, of a young man struggling to become an artist in his own right and be a success. Orland's images, beautifully reproduced in this volume are arresting in their allusions, impressive in their breadth, and rich in their visual vocabulary. It also contains Orland's letters and a running diary of sorts that takes the reader into the holy temple of those fervent years when the anointed gathered along the California coast. -- Publisher description
