Cultivating Intent: Learning The Way Of The Woods

Description

Photobook and short stories Cultivating Intent is a photobook based in the UP with an equal mix of imagery and stories about finding a path of personal growth. "After countless hours in the woods, I found a lot more than just pretty scenes. I found a metaphor for understanding life itself. The woods in the UP are a beautiful but harsh environment. They taught me how to be tough while still taking the time to stop and enjoy the scenery. At first, the harsh conditions would turn me around and send me home, but the more time I spent out there the more I developed the skills and the mental fortitude to deal with the cold, the rough terrain, and the bugs. Especially the bugs."
