"Return to Heartwood - Search for the Heart of Live Oak Country" is the latest of six books I've published. It is a retrospective of black-and-white photographs of Louisiana live oaks paired with personal essays about my experiences making the photographs –

This portfolio contains black-and-white images from Return to Heartwood, priced for a limited time — since you purchased a copy of the book.

And in case you're interested – signed copies of Return to Heartwood are still available through the book's website: www.returntoheartwood.com.
