A collection of beautiful, sometimes abstract, usually ominous
photographs... Fair is a lone wolf: a hunter in his own way,
combing the landscape for the tracks of the most dangerous animal
on earth.--Vice
A vital collection, exposing the state of crumbling landscapes all
too often kept from public eye.--Geographical
Chillingly beautiful.--Audubon Magazine
Think of these images as a surveillance camera for the planet,
recording the biggest crimes against nature we've ever imagined.
Images like these will be the standards around which we
muster.--Bill McKibben, 350.org
The vivid color photographs of J Henry Fair lead an uneasy double
life as potent records of environmental pollution and as ersatz
evocations of abstract painting ... information and form work
together, to devastating effect.--Roberta Smith "The New York Times
