Perhaps best known for his photography and videos, particularly of his dogs, William Wegman is also an accomplished painter, draftsman, and writer, as well as an avid outdoorsman. In this unique and very personal volume, Wegman considers his artistic formation and with great sophistication examines his relationship to place, creatively incorporating vintage postcards as the starting point for landscape compositions, and texts that borrow from the rhetoric of outdoor recreation or invoke the writings of Thoreau. Complete with the artist's commentary, the texts also include a piece of short fiction by Padgett Powell.
