Heartwood, Meditations on Southern Oaks, my first book, was published in 1998 by Bulfinch / Little Brown Books. It is a small gift book (7"x9" in size) containing black-and-white photographs of Southern live oaks paired with short poetry by the Sufi mystic poet, Rumi.  It is out of print, but used copies are available on Amazon and Abe Books.

Return to Heartwood is my newest of six books I've published. It contains black-and-white photograms of Louisiana live oaks paired with personal essays about my experiences making the photographs – copies are available at www.returntoheartwood.com.

This portfolio contains black and white images from the first Heartwood and from my most recent book, "Return to Heartwood - Search for the Heart of Live Oak Country."  For purchase information, go to www.returntoheartwood.com.
