Publisher's Note
West from the Columbia is an essay in photographs about the meeting of a great river with the sea. The book is at once a celebration of beauty at the ocean's edge and a meditation on our relationship with it. In the pictures the sea mirrors every condition through which our lives pass - fresh mornings, calm days, fog, storms, and night - and as in life, little is explained. Driftwood next to our feet is as mysterious as is the ship on the horizon. Lewis and Clark arrived here, the farthest point in their exploration, in 1805. Report of their journey was instrumental in opening the American West for development. Since then we have destroyed large and diverse forests that once stood along the Columbia, and polluted the river with waste from cities, paper mills, and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Though we now know that even the sea itself is finite - nothing can be hidden - we continue to look for hope at the ocean's shore. Might we be embraced, like the river, by so perfect a light? Robert Adams is fond of an entry in one of Theodore Roethke's journals - "I see what I believe".

Industry reviews
"Magisterial and meditative, Robert Adams's most recent images look beyond the American West that has been his lifelong subject, and into the vastness of the Pacific Ocean...the best [photographs] are of nothing but the sea itself...grounded in his struggle to accommodate his need for an untrammeled, undisturbed natural world to the incursions of modern life. His uncompromisingly idealist vision might be taken for nostalgic sentimentality by some, but his Pacific is beyond reproach..."
New York Times Book Review - Andy Grundberg (12/03/1995)

"...the striking clash of two great natural forces--the mighty Columbia River as it empties into the vast expanse of the Pacific--is captured in all its phases...Adams' black-and-white studies effective evoke the magnificent, ever-in-transition dynamic on view..."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Peter Handel (12/10/1995)
