A PHOTOGRAPHER and professor of landscape architecture at the University of
California at Berkeley, William Garnett has the ideal training for seeing the
land. His photographs from the air – here, the surf at Point Reyes, California
– show how light and form combine in memorable images. These may contain as
much information about the structure of the land as a satellite image but,
instead of a coarse array of pixels distorting the view, the beauty of the
land shines through. Aerial Photographs (University of California pp 159,
$55/£37.50) is the fruit of 30 years of work.
