Description
In the beginning published in 1979, “Cape Light” was an instant classic and some of the influential photography books published within the latter a part of the 20 th century. Commonplace scenes — tiny figures on a beach, a porch railing against a storm-darkened sky, a blue raft against a summer cottage — all are transformed by the poignant light of the Cape and the photographer’s subtle and luminous vision. This exquisitely printed book captures each nuance of color and lightweight in that unique juncture of sky, sea, and land that may be Cape Cod.
