David Gulden: Nor Dread Nor Hope Attend: Photographs from the Plains of Africa

By: Gulden, David

Awe-inspiring images of Kenyan wildlife from the author of the acclaimed photobook The Center Cannot Hold

This large-format volume dramatically displays the full visual impact of American photographer David Gulden's epic images of lions, cheetahs, leopards and elephants. The sharp, solid forms of the animals--the lion on the termite mound, the cheetah with her eyes narrowed, the elephants crossing the mudflat or peering from behind the plant cover--contrast with, and even at time tease out, the ethereal quality of the scenes. Whether in fear or expectation, or simply in watchfulness, we know that their gaze will fall increasingly on people, plastic and pollution.

These photographs, taken entirely in Kenya, are the culmination of eight years of work and a life spent photographing the ever more fragile wildlife of East Africa. Gulden's pictures have a poignancy that extends far beyond the pages of this book.
