Photographic EssaysThe harmonious relationship between people, their creativity and the land they love is reflected in the term Authentic Places. These places are made by and define those who invest themselves in creating lives that resonate with the traditions of their families, their work, their community and environment. Their focus is on building honest and industrious lives to preserve “pastoral ethics” – ethics characterized by a physical, psychic attachment to the land and a commitment to conserve and define their place in it. These special people and their places offer prime examples of the potential to craft unique and productive lives. CLICK ON ANY OF THE PHOTOS TO YOUR RIGHT TO VIEW THE ESSAY.
