Summary: Ohio Isn't Just High in the Middle and Round on Both Ends
Comment: Many people outside of Ohio see it as a boring, gray state; the place where Alcoholics Anonymous and the Professional Bowlers Association originated... Well, Ian Adams (photographer) and Stephen Ostrander (writer) of "Ohio: A Bicentennial Portrait" prove that the Buckeye State offers so much more! "Ohio: A Bicentennial Portrait" walks you through the state's backyards and byways, highlighting its history and bucolic splendor. Chapters covering flowers, public art, schools, farms, seasons and other such architectural, agricultural, and natural wonders are touched upon by Ostrander's interesting prose and are massaged by Adams' delicious photography.
Stephen Ostrander's writing is straightforward and interesting. He did his homework and has added depth to what could have simply been just another art book. While his stories and facts are intriguing, you won't be able to keep your fingers from turning to the photos.
Adams' work (which graces one of the U.S. post office's newest 37-cent stamps) is a wonder to behold. The variety and texture of his photographs highlight his love for nature via majestic panoramas and tender close-ups. This book is yet another succulent chapter in his photographic career.
"Ohio: A Bicentennial Portrait" is the perfect gift for those friends, family and co-workers who have yet to see Ohio's silver lining. It is the perfect antidote for a gray day anywhere. It is a must, not just for your coffee table, but also for your desk, your nightstand, and your life. I highly recommend that you get two copies of this masterpiece - you WILL want one for yourself.
I have been a fan of Ian Adams' work ever since I picked up "The Ohio Lands" over six years ago. It was one of the first gifts I gave to my then-fiancée (my now-wife). I'm not saying that she married me because of it, but it certainly convinced her that I was sensitive, artistic, and proud of my state. We have since given most of our out-of-state friends his work (and many of them have picked up additional copies to share). Adams' work can also be found in: "The Holden Arboretum," "Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens" and "Midwest Landscape Design." They are all works of art.
