Exquisite black-and-white photographs of the architectural remnants of the ancient inhabitants of the American Southwest by a student of Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Eliot Porter. From the time he was a child, German-born photographer Claus Mroczynski was fascinated with the indigenous peoples of North America, especially the ancient inhabitants of the American Southwest. Later in his life, as an accomplished photographer, he spent more than two decades visiting the rugged deserts, caves, mesas, and mountains of the area, producing an evocative portrait of sacred places past and present. Mroczynski's sensitivity and respect for these places earned him access to many hidden sites that few have visited. Ron Richelieu, former Executive Director of Mesa Verde National Park, described the resulting series of photographs as a "testament to the richness of an ancient culture that lives on today." $5.55 domestic U.S. shipping.
