Corn State. Prairie State. Garden of the West. Each of these
nicknames for the State of Illinois has a truth to tell. But not the
whole truth. The world-class lens of Willard Clay reveals secrets
about his home state that justify another nickname: the State of
Hidden Delights. For WILD & SCENIC ILLINOIS, Willard Clay has
crisscrossed the state’s byways and trails in his search for the
rare, the beautiful, the seldom-seen jewels of the Illinois
landscape. WILD & SCENIC ILLINOIS is the most discerning and the most
rhapsodic portrait of the natural face of Illinois ever published.
Clay has gleaned his images from every province in Illinois, ranging
across all seasons, times, and natural subjects. The photographs are
systematically grouped into Illinois’s various landscape provinces,
described in an informative text by naturalist Robert Hutchinson. In
the photographer’s introduction, Willard Clay shares his tips for
tackling the technical challenges of shooting the landscape of
Illinois. Formerly a professor of botany, Clay traces the source of
his photographic inspiration to his close and patient observation of
the face of nature.
