ENTRY DESCRIPTION
One of the oldest living things on earth, these Ancient Bristlecone pine trees live in a very harsh environment at high elevations; increasingly warmer overall temperatures threaten the very existence of these trees. Yet, it might be said that these trees present even more drama and beauty in their afterlife. A reminder to us all that the natural world is worth preserving.
AUTHOR
I dedicated 24 years to protecting public lands and resources as a law enforcement officer for the Bureau of Land Management. My objective now, as primarily a self-taught photographer, is to assist private, public and governmental organizations and agencies, employed in or charged with preserving and protecting our natural, cultural and historic resources, achieve their respective goals by fostering public awareness through the imagery of my photography and advocate for the continued conservation and protection of these National treasures held in public trust for the benefit of all.
