Lebanon Valley

The Lebanon Valley is home — and home is where I've learned to look closest. These photographs were made across seasons, in fields, along creek beds, and at the edges of the day when the light does something particular to a place most people drive through without stopping. The nature that thrives here has never needed an audience. But it deserves one.
