A spiritually uplifting and beautiful designed visual memoir by the
hugely popular photographer on Instagram, Joe Greer, combining
thoughtful essays and more than 100 gorgeous landscape photos-half
fan favorites, and half never-before-seen. "Each photograph really
does come down to a split second when you decide to freeze that
moment in time. . . . You ask yourself what the story is that you
want to tell, and let the rest unfold: Click."-from the
introduction Joe Greer never imagined he would become a
photographer. Raised in Florida by an aunt and uncle after his
mother's death when he was four, Joe had a seemingly normal
childhood, spending summers at church camp and dreaming of going to
college. But nearly fifteen years later, the ground shifted beneath
his feet when he discovered a family secret that would impact the
rest of his life. Trying to make sense of that revelation and what
it meant for his future, Greer set his sights on becoming a pastor
at Spokane's Moody Bible Institute. There, he discovered
Instagram-and a passion for photography. His pictures of the lush,
wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest landscape attracted a large
following that has grown to more than three quarters of a millions
fans and continues to expand. The Lay of the Land is Joe's story in
words and pictures. In this stunning compendium, he reflects on the
trauma of his early life and what photography has taught him: how
to find his light; how to slow down; how to appreciate the world
around him, a reverence for the nature world that that both
nurtures and amplifies his creativity and faith; how to love-his
photography led him to his wife, Madison-and how to heal. For Joe,
photography has been a way to find purpose, better understand his
faith, and express himself. Though he began with landscapes,
meeting his wife sparked a new love of portraiture, and he turned
to making photos of street scenes that explored his complicated
feelings about family. A love letter to the natural world, to
faith, and to finding your calling in the most unexpected places,
The Lay of the Land is a window into the beautiful mind and heart
of one of the internet's favorite photographers. Moving and
inspiring, it is a creative and spiritual journey that offers
lessons on life and living. As Greer reminds us all, whatever it is
you want, it's up to you to make the moment (and the photograph).
