Iowa Echoes of a vanishing landscape : photographs 2004 - 2016

David Ottenstein

Book - 2017

"Iowa: Echoes of a Vanishing Landscape contains 89 of [David Ottenstein's] black and white photographs and includes texts by Alan Trachtenberg of Yale University and Jonathan Andelson, director of the Center for Prairie Studies at Grinnell College in Iowa. The book explores the transformation of the Iowa landscape from one based on the agrarian notion of the small, diversified farm to a landscape geared toward industrial scale agriculture. [Ottenstein's] photographs of rural and small-town Iowa depict sweeping landscapes, abandoned farmhouses, grain elevators, section roads, ethanol plants and many more "discoveries" that [he] made while wandering Iowa's "back roads and forgotten corners," as Jonathan... Andelson aptly describes it"--Photographer's website.
