"Anniversary Tree"


There is a story behind this shot like many of my photographs. Several years ago, I flew to Arizona to help my sister drive across country back to the east coast.

All through the trip I told her that if we saw a single tree in the middle of a field, pull over, I want the shot. Although we found on in I-40 somewhere in Texas, I never really liked it and have continued to look.

This tree is the tree I looked for all along. This shot is only one of a series I shot in MI. I don't feel all that badly waking the girl that lived on this farm to ask for permission. And even though I had to walk through the field, past a deer that had been hit by a car in my dress shoes, It was soooo worth it!
