Following the success of Abbeville's highly acclaimed European trilogy-Provence, Tuscany, and Venice-Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo present a new photographic tour-de-force: their remarkable images of America. "A stunning visual memoir of America's recent past and present." -- The Picture Professiona For nearly five decades they have been recording the highways and byways of fifty states, and this book is a collection of their most memorable pictures. Organized in thematic chapters, the photographs offer breathtaking views of wilderness and wildlife, urban centers and backwater villages, nostalgic scenes of yesteryear and high-tech scapes of today. An evocative text by distinguished writer-poet Robin Magowan probes the vision underlying Bullaty and Lomeo's America, America. America, America captures the essence of place as few books have. It makes an ideal gift for prospective travelers, collectors of superlative color photography, lovers of natural beauty, and all who wish to celebrate America and the achievements of its people. Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo are a husband-and-wife team who live in New York City. Their photographs are widely collected and exhibited by galleries and museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Robin Magowan is the author of six books, including Fabled Cities of Central Asia and his recently published autobiography, Minotaur. He lives in rural Connecticut.
