David Plowden: Vanishing Point
Fifty Years of Photography_____

"No one has photographed America as has David Plowden ... He is one of the great artist of our time."

— DAVID McCULLOUGH

"David Plowden’s work is sometimes compared to that of the great WPA photographers— Walker Evans, Bernice Abbott, Russell Lee, Dorothea Lange—but he’s been in the field decades longer than any of them were. What he has done is nothing less than capture a nation passing through fifty years of changes as monumentous as those unleased by the industrial revolution a century earlier."

— FROM THE FOREWORD BY RICHARD SNOW

Plowden's work is much more than a window into the past. It's a window into the soul of America, often challenging us to think deeply about where we've been as a nation and where we're heading. In that way, he could be called "a de Tocquevlle with a camera."
