In this series, I've documented the logging of 135 acres of the 235 acres I purchased in 2002. Seeing a huge oak tree fall was a little tough for me, but knowing this wood would later be transformed into beautiful furniture and whiskey barrels gave me perspective. Witnessing the loggers operate heavy machinery was a remarkable sight as well, and I felt compelled to capture this significant event. Today, I still walk my dogs along the logging paths and observe the new growth on the land. I hope you enjoy these pictures I've taken over a twelve month period, and in the years that follow, I plan to continue documenting the forest's growth.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson wisely noted, "The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn." I would also add, "Using wood is better for the planet than using plastic."
