He has gained access to a world that continues to thrive, although not many have been privy to its history and intricacies until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Showcasing the past, present, and the future, Payne explores both old-school factories, such as New England's textile mills that have survived by staying exactly the same and proudly producing on vintage equipment, and newer factories that embrace the evolution of technology--for example, Corning's bendable glass or GE's next-generation wind turbines. From the tip of a pencil to the sleek lines of an airplane, or from a classical guitar to a communications satellite, diverse forms of manufacturing, including the very small and the incredibly large, are revealed as beautiful examples of American ingenuity. Regardless of their differences, these factories share the common bonds of craftsmanship and a commitment to quality that can't be outsourced. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beautifully showcasing Payne's dynamic color photographs in an oversize format, \u003ci\u003eMade in America\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of the making of things, the transformation of raw materials into useful objects, and the human skill and mechanical precision brought to bear on these materials that give them form and purpose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes Color Photographs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Payne\u003c\/b\u003e specializes in architectural and industrial photography.
