For years, Mark Klett has been photographing the deserts of the American West—in particular, the Sonoran Desert, which sprawls across southern Arizona and the northern Mexican state of Sonora. Along with coyotes, the full moon, and tumbleweeds, saguaro cacti are one of the most recognizable (and stereotypical) features of the Sonoran landscape. His portraits of these giant cacti, made from the beginning of his career to the present, are straightforward and frontal, objective yet inspired. This handsome book presents a selection of these portraits coupled with an essay by acclaimed writer Gregory McNamee.
