A True American Classic: Robert Royem,
By Anthony P. Grego (Wolf Hole, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An American Classic: The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad: The Photographic Celebration of a Uniquely American Railroad (Hardcover)
Nobody captures the heart and spirit of the steam powered locomotive, or the American Southwest like that of Robert Royem. I wouldn't hesitate a comparison between his photography and the best works by Ansel Adams and David Muench, in a word these images are sublime. When you combine this gift for photography with a style of prose that is both graceful and has the abilty to turn a history lesson on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad into something as beautiful as a southwestern sunset and as rich as the precious ore it's cars delivered, it is little wonder Royem is being heralded as the best photojournalist in America today. If your interested in the captivating images and the historical significance that the San Juan Mountains have to offer, or just interested in photos documenting the painstaking craftsmanship that went into the making of this countries early iron horses, then this is the book for you. Hillerman, Abbey, Woodkrutch move over and make way for a new kindred spirit, Robert Royem, his photos speak of a couple centuries worth of words and his book is an American classic that any reader will have a hard time putting down.
