This site started as a way for me to show my mother what I was doing while I was thousands of miles away from her. It still, if Mom finds it interesting enough to read, plays this role. What I also desire, in creating this site, is an audience for my evolving craft of photography and writings about the world.
The title “The Apple Tree” comes from my childhood on a farm in New Hampshire. I have fond memories of climbing to the top of one particular crab apple tree. There are very few moments in my life where I have felt more free and accomplished as those spent in the summer breeze on the swaying branches at the top of that tree.
