About the Book
This large-format collection of recent color photographs of the Oregon landscape is by the former head of the photography program at Philadelphia's University of the Arts. Having grown up in Washington County, Oregon, the photographer returned to his home state in 2009 upon retiring from his final teaching post in Japan. Oregon Trails presents a portfolio of exposures made primarily on hikes in Oregon's state and national parks, extending his previous volume Trees. As does that volume, Oregon Trails includes a number of natural images that connect with allusionist themes in abstract work Greenfield produced in his early career in the 1960s and 1970s.
