Ray Atkeson's love of Oregon was shown in this statement shortly before his death: "Oregon has been a happy hunting ground for me for well over half a century. In fact, it was just sixty years ago that I discovered this great part of the world after spending three summers exploring the West." His faultless compositions bring the diversity, color, and dramatic scale of Oregon's landscape to the pages of this volume. Atkeson selected images that are variations on his signature locations: Cape Kiwanda, Crown Point and the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood and Portland, Eagle Cap Wilderness and the Painted Hills.
Organized by region within the state (as was the original OREGON edition), here are exciting images of Black Butte, Cape Arago, climbers on Mount Hood, and snow-ringed Crater Lake. Atkeson also found quiet moments and simple, compelling compositions in desert blooms and ocean tide pools. He crossed and recrossed Oregon, his home for nearly sixty years, and with continued dedication and persistence, created this, his third masterpiece.
Journalist and former Channel 2 Evening News anchor Richard Ross creates the text, weaving a word picture of Oregon out of hours of conversation with Oregonians who shared their thoughts, feelings, and stories.
Ray Atkeson's OREGON III is a work of art from Oregon's master photographer and, along with his two other volumes, a book for all to treasure. OREGON, the first large-format, photographic book ever published with color plates about a state, set the trend for the past twenty years. OREGON II followed and holds a sales record for Graphic Arts Center Publishing Company with over 100,000 copies sold.
For those who love and enjoy Oregon and the photographs of Ray Atkeson, OREGON III is a delight to the eye, a celebration of the state's boundless beauty, and a work of art from its most prominent photographer
