Help identifying a photographer

Hi All,
This question has been bugging me for a while so after many fruitless web searches I'm posting here.
3-4 years ago I saw a portfolio of wonderful color photographs taken in Nevada, mostly of the desert and playa lakes (e.g. Pyramid Lake) areas. Many of the pictures had beautiful muted desert colors and the lighting was quite soft. I'm pretty sure they were LF.
I thought I found them through a NY Times review but my memory is failing me.

Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Thanks in advance,
Nick

Not exactly, but Richard Misrach has a book of similar desert photos.

I would say that it is Misrach. The book jmal is thinking of is probably Bravo 20, the Bombing of the American West.

If not Misrach, then Peter Goin or Robert Dawson—both have worked in that area, and Dawson has a Pyramid Lake project, but it is more of a mixture of black and white and color with photographs from around the area.

Hope that helps.

It's almost certainly Richard Misrach you are seeking. He has a gorgeous spread of Pyramid Lake and Lahontan Valley Wetlands photographs in the Nature Conservancy's book "In Response to Place", photographs from the Naure Conservancy's "Last Great Places". I bought it at Barnes and Noble a year or two ago...perhaps you can still find a copy.
