Photographs at once stark and lush, tranquil and vibrant, dramatic
and contemplative-- forests full of surprise.
For photographer Sean Kernan, "Among Trees" was born out of the
simple act of photographing the groves and forests he saw as he
worked, traveled, and lived in the world. As the shape of the work
emerged, he began to wander further in search of these visions made
of trees and light. After many years, he has collected these
remarkable photographs and gained insight into the way that art
takes us deep inside ourselves at the very same time that it calls
us out into our world.
The fundamental act of seeing changed and enriched the
photographer, just as the photographs in "Among Trees" will lead
readers on a journey of their own.
This book is an invitation to experience all the anticipated
pleasures of walking in the woods, the spiritual qualities of the
deep forests, the near-operatic dramas of nature, our human
connections with the natural world. As author Anthony Doerr writes
in his introduction, "It is my hope that you turn the pages of this
book and see something of the thousand landscapes around us-- to
imagine not only what is inside Kernan's frams, but outside them as
well." Because "Among Trees" is not so much about leafing through
pictures of interesting and beautiful trees as it is about being
"among" trees and coming to see our world and ourselves
differently.
