Label Text:“I have been interested in creating simple, strong designs….This interest is usually more easily satisfied with man-made objects than with nature, which is often more complex, even visually chaotic. Nothing I have photographed was better suited to this approach than the whitewashed buildings of the Greek Cyclades Islands.”
Howard Bond is one of the best American photographers currently working in the tradition of Ansel Adams and Minor White. It is an added bonus that this nationally known artist is from northwest Ohio.
