Additional Details

A scarce limited edition by the American photographer best known for his "Altered Landscape" series. Of the concept of piles, Pfahl states: "Ansel Adams had his beloved Sierras. I seek out the more elusive mountains on the lake plain near my home in Buffalo, New York. I try to imbue these piles of raw and recycled materials, through judicious use of light, atmosphere and scale, with the majesty of mountains I recall from summers in the Rockies and the Alps"--from the artist's website johnpfahl.com.
