Mark Klett has been photographing the deserts of the American West, in particular the beauties of the Sonoran landscape--a desert that sprawls across southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Along with coyotes and tumbleweeds, saguaro cacti are one of the most recognizable (and stereotypical) features of this region. Klett's portraits of these giant desert plants are straightforward and frontal. Klett is known for teasing out the implications of man's presence in the environment: here, vital young saguaros, middle-aged contenders with gunshot wounds and wizened elders are treated as worthy inhabitants. This beautifully produced volume, featuring 40 deluxe tritone images, presents a selection of Klett's most evocative portraits with an essay by acclaimed writer Gregory McNamee.

Mark Klett’s most recent projects have been solo endeavors. In 2004 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, which allowed him to produce a series of images called Time Studies. These smaller scale, more intimate images are the result of long exposures ranging from 10 minutes to 48 hours and continue Klett’s interest in the way the camera captures the effect of time on the landscape. His most recent book, Saguaros, was published in 2007. (2007), After the Ruins (2006), Yosemite in Time (2005), and Third Views, Second Sights (2004).

Mark Klett is a Regents’ Professor at the Herberger College of Art, School of Art at Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ and has taught at ASU since 1982.
