Eric Buechel: Painter, Illustrator, Graphic, Author, & Fine Art Photographer 

In this series, I’ve chronicled the logging of 135 acres from the 235 acres I acquired in 2002. It was a bit for me to see a large oak tree fall, but that this wood would eventually become beautiful furniture and whiskey barrels me a sense of purpose. Watching the loggers handle heavy machinery also an impressive experience, and I felt it was important capture this moment. Today, I continue to walk my dogs along logging paths and observe the land's new growth. I hope you enjoy these photos taken over the past twelve months, and I plan to keep documenting the forest's progress the years to come.
