Ohio"s 200th birthday is here and so is Ian Adams" masterful photographic exposition, "Ohio: A Bicentennial Portrait." Sole photographer of six books and two long-running calendar series on Ohio, Adams contributed the winning image picked by the US Postal Service for the official 2003 Ohio Statehood Stamp. With over 300 lush photographs that he has selected for this composite portrait of his home state, Ohio"s premier landscape photographer treats Ohioans to a grand tour of their state"s natural and historical treasures, arranged into chapters on Ohio"s rocks, flowers, factories, conveyances, public art, schools, farms, seasons, and wilds. Stephen Ostrander, pundit of all things Ohioan, serves up a delicious but nutritious essay on each of Adams" pictorial themes. Adams and Ostrander summon all their artistic skill and native pride to portray the beautiful face of bicentennial Ohio: as it was, as it still is, as it has changed, and as it may be again.
