MEDIA REVIEWS

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 "
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
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
Chillingly beautiful.--Audubon Magazine
