Dark Beauty Photographs of New Mexico
By Jack Parsons
Foreword by Frederick Turner ♦ A collection of photographs by renown American photographer Jack Parsons, whose deep passion for the New Mexico landscape is revealed in the stunning vistas and everyday scenes he captures on film Dark Beauty features more than 100 photographs by Jack Parsons of New Mexico, culled from his favorite scenes shot during the last 25 years. From images of small towns and lonely plains, mountains, rivers, fiestas, and murals to old adobe houses, crumbling walls, and dirt roads in Santa Fe, Taos, and elsewhere, Parson’s photographs present a very personal, elegiac vision of the state where he has made his home since the 1970s. These photographs reveal a deep understanding and reverence for a place whose complex, rich history, unique multiculturalism, and unparalleled beauty continue to captivate residents and tourists alike. Jack Parsons is an experienced cinematographer and director; however, he is most famous for his elegant book photography that captures the visual heritage of the American Southwest. In recognition of his contributions, he was honored in 2006 with the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence and Achievement in the Arts. He lives in Santa Fe. Frederick Turner is an author, editor, and the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and The Guggenheim Foundation. He also resides in Santa Fe.
