The Southwest: The Land and Its People

Contemplative black and white photography by Dick Spas in the tradition of Ansel Adams, this collection of images heartfully documents people and places encountered over 50 plus years of investigating the currents and undercurrents of life in the Southwestern U.S.

Foreword by James G. Barbee

“Dick Spas … captures the spirit of the land and the people who caught his eye, bringing it all to life through the black and white images he made with large-format cameras, then printing them one by one in his darkroom.”

“Spas continues to work as a photographer, selling prints of photos that were published in the book, taking commissions, and making artistic photos throughout New Mexico and Arizona.”

“His book serves as a well-documented and lovely record of half a century in the Southwest.”
