Nice. I wish they had a back story or at least a bit more blurby individual write-ups on the trees, or did I miss that?

The photographer has a personal web site. Her star light photos, mostly made on moonless nights, are awesome.

Platinum prints, and contact prints so probably large format (8x10 ??). Lens Culture has a good write up on her (and some of the trees), and I wish she had the time to do my favorite tree in Tule, Oaxaca, MX. It is 57 feet in circumference, 2000 years old, and I don't remember the species.

BUT it looks like she might have flipped to digital for her recent work.

From her website: "Once a negative is scanned into a computer it can then be enlarged and output as a high resolution negative printed on transparency material."

I saw an article about her in Camera Arts magazine years ago. She does interesting work.

These photos gave me wood! In the movie Funnyface, Audrey Hepburn tells Fred Astair (playing Richard Avedon fashion photographer type) to go photograph trees. However spending 14 years....

Digital negatives, been around for a long time now.
