From Here to the Horizon presents the captivating work of fifty renowned contemporary landscape photographers, honoring the life and profound influence of Barry Lopez (1945-2020), one of our most esteemed writers on the landscape and our connection to it. Each photographer's selection is carefully curated in relation to and accompanied by an excerpt from the best-selling book Home Ground: A Guide to the American Landscape, a comprehensive A-to-Z guide to American landscape terms, edited by Lopez and Debra Gwartney. This captivating collection showcases a diverse range of images, capturing both landforms and evocative scenes that evoke a sense of beauty, diversity, and abundance within the shared North American topography.

For Lopez, the land was not just a backdrop for human activities but a mirror of our aspirations and desires, both as individuals and communities. He had a deep appreciation for photographers, and some have likened his precise and crystalline language to the artistry found in photography. As Virginia Beahan aptly observed, "What impressed me so much about Barry's writing was the slow-moving attention to detail. . . . as he tried to make sense of the world."

The collection features the talents of renowned photographers such as Virginia Beahan, Barbara Bosworth, Frank Gohlke, Lois Conner, Emmet Gowin, Mark Klett, David Maisel, Laura McPhee, Andrew Moore, Mark Ruwedel, and essays by Debra Gwartney, Robert Macfarlane, and Toby Jurovics.

From Here to the Horizon serves as a testament to the profound admiration and affection for Lopez, igniting a spark of imagination for places we already know, yearn to visit, or may never see but carry with us through the life-affirming work of writers like Lopez.
