He became first known for photos of the West German student movement that were published by international papers and magazines. Ruetz covered the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by Soviet troops and military dictatorship in Greece. He focused later on cultural-historical and documentary projects, exploring the "visual world" of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Theodor Fontane in series such as In Goethe's Footsteps. Projects after the 1980s deal with visualizing time and transience, photographing the same objects again and again over a long time. ; possible remainder mark ; Using the panoramic capabilities of his Technorama camera, so well demonstrated in Eye on America and his other award-winning photographic books, Ruetz creates a portrait of Scotland through all seasons. Reproduced in stunning color of the highest quality are sweeping views of Glen Coe, Loch Lomond, the Isle of Skye and many other places. In his introduction, David Attenborough explores Scotland's history and prehistory." ; "All the photographs reproduced here wee made outside the general tourist season in a series of three trip from November 1985 to late May 1984. During that time I drove approximately 15,000 miles and shot 550 rolls of film. For such a book, that might seem but a short time and as yet too few pictures. I must admit that, had I been able to, I would have spent several years in the lonely reaches of t he Scottish Highlands and the Hebridean Isles." ; 69 color illustrations including 7 panoramic foldouts ; FINE/FINE; Book.
