Odyssey: Photographs by Linda Connor

by Linda Connor (Photographs)

Linda Connor's world-renowned photographs are global and sublime. For thirty years she has created distinctively glowing, contemplative images of nature and religious sites around the world using a large-format camera and glass-plate negatives. This career-spanning retrospective collects Connor's haunting photos, including her renowned prints from century-old glass-plate astronomical negatives from Lick Observatory, contextualized by an unprecedented three-way conversation between Linda and two modern luminaries, Robert Adams and Emmet Gowin. Published to coincide with a major touring exhibition, Odyssey is a long overdue celebration of a modern photographic master.

Nothing wrong with her photography, it just isn't intriguing to me.

I liked the photos from the southwest best, perhaps because I like to think about these places. Connor manages to capture the numinousness of places. If I knew more about photography, I would probably like these even more. The interviews in the back were great too. Connor comes off as down-to-earth.

Fascinating world photography. The photographer, Linda Connor, is clearly as intrigued by mosaics/patterns/intricate designs as I am. It showed powerfully through her photos. I could spend hours analyzing the photos in this single book.

A beautiful collection of Linda Connor's photographs. How come there aren't other books of her work?

Unusual and worth a look.
