"Bernard Plossu is a French photographer who has settled in Santa Fe after almost twenty years of traveling around the world. Here he shows us his vision of New Mexico, a land he has experienced quite differently from the many distinguished photographers who have preceded him here. Plossu sees New Mexico through a filter of imagery from the African continent, for he has photographed Egypt, the Sudan, their deserts, oases, and people. He sees it very much as a travel photographer, always on the move, and very much as a European, contrasting his stereotypical expectations of the Wild West and Mexico with the odd reality that is New Mexico. He also, paradoxically, sees New Mexico as home. His is not a New Mexico of bright light and overwhelming vistas but a country of dirt roads and snow, running dogs, old fences and gnarled trees, children at play"--Dust jacket flap
