Black and white photography documents the fire hazard from clear-cutting's environmental impact.

Black and White on the Land This stark, simple image of a tree against a bright sky captures the spirit of our black and white photography project.

It’s a powerful example of how much we can see when we are encouraged to look differently at the world around us. Photo: Jamie Bell

Harvesting Blueberries and Ideas The changing seasons are starting to show themselves in the landscape, adding another layer of beauty to our blueberry picking. This photograph not only shows the full, ripe fruit but also hints at the yellows and reds on the leaves preparing for fall. It's a great example of the natural colors our artists and photographers are working to capture.
