Stillwater

Made along the banks of the Cache la Poudre River near Fort Collins, Colorado, Wylie's photographs are permeated with quiet, attentive gazing. Nothing more. He has distilled the river to a mosaic of reflections by removing the superfluous. The implied murmurings of those riparian surroundings quietly fill the mind, filtering out unwanted background noise and leaving, instead, a serenity that is disturbed only by the fascinating ripples on the page. This book has virtually no text, aside from an inspiring and cryptic text by Gilfillan, which adds a certain mystery to the overall presentation.
