Shelter From The Storm: The Photographs of Kirk Gittings
Editorial Reviews Book Description The second volume in the New Mexico Magazine Photo Series features the photography of Kirk Gittings.
This compact, beautiful collection of many of the best of Gittings' photographs will excite all who love New Mexico. His is a magnificent oeuvre, from photographs of the ruins at Chaco Canyon to the charming chapels of northern New Mexico. His images capture the rich detail of architectural interiors as well as the sleek exteriors of the state's most contemporary buildings. Author Gussie Fauntleroy organizes and introduces Gittings' images in the context of New Mexico's shelters and sanctuaries, tracing the influence of the state's earliest structures through to its most modern edifices.
Fauntleroy writes, "There is a coherence in Gittings' sensibility, vision, and style that runs through both his commercial and fine art photography. From ancient to ultra-modern, the architecture of New Mexico-rooted in the earth, graced by the craftsman's hand, and offering a sense of continuity in materials and form-has much to tell about who we have been and who we are."
Published by New Mexico Magazine About the Author Kirk Gittings's work has appeared in numerous publications including Architectural Digest, View Camera Magazine, Sunset, Su Casa, Art in America, Santa Fe Trends and, for many years, New Mexico Magazine. He has made New Mexico his home for forty-five years.
