Hello out there, friends.
The annual march of color down the mountainsides and into the valleys is coming to a close here in the Appalachian mountains, and things are beginning to settle and quieten. For 13 years now, I have made a pilgrimage into the mountains as a nature photographer to witness and document the beauty and complexity of the dramatic shift from the green leaves of summer to the bare trees of winter, from a time of growth to a time of rest. Through my photography, I have delighted in discovering connections between the cycles of the natural world and our own human experiences.
Fall is certainly a time of beauty and poetry, but what it really represents for me is the process of transition and change, from summer to winter, from busyness to rest. My photography has helped me learn of the joy to be found in every season, even winter, and I find myself getting excited about the approaching winter now - something I never did before I started image-making.
I have just a few updates for you this month, including a new FREE eBook, a new article in Elements Magazine, and Arctic Homeland, a print sale to help bring an important documentary film to fruition.
