A Year in Trees

It's a bit more than a year, but you get the idea. I did not realize that trees were playing such a central role in my photographs until I started to photograph trees themselves with all their unusual shapes, textures and colors.

In each of these photographs, trees play a central role in the composition. The trees are either the main subject or they frame the photograph. In several cases, the trees create balance and perspective.

This collection of tree photographs spans 4 countries (Brazil, Chile, Mexico and the United States) and two states in the US, California and New Mexico.

I hope you enjoy the tour.

Great photos. It's amazing how important trees are, even in our photography, and yet we don't really notice them most of the time. This cross-sectional view of trees is wonderful: the trees sometimes being the subject of the photo, at other times the frame, or the background, or just ancillary. I particularly liked photo 16 - California Autumn. It shows a color combination only nature can get away with.
