"To heal mine aching moods,
Give me God's virgin woods." 
~Clinton Scollard

About these Digital Tree Photos

These photos were taken with a simple 2.1 mega pixel digital camera, with 3x optical zoom and 12x total zoom.  

I began taking digital tree photos as a way to preserve inspiring subjects for tree paintingsYet from the moment I took my first tree photo I was hooked.  A tree park or an orchard are perfect playgrounds for me.  Every tree is a swing and sculpture.  A living being and a work of art.  Hanging around trees is renewing and brings my heart and mind to do as it indicates in Job (Iyov) 37:14, "consider the wondrous works of the Creator".    

Achieving freedom is a worthy goal, or accomplishment, in making art.  Yet there are many types of freedoms.  As a painter I find that painting has it's own special freedoms, such as freedom of spirit, freedom of mind and freedom of hand and eye.  Likewise, digital photography has it's own freedoms, including freedom of movement & freedom with subject.

The compactness of my digital camera allows me to move about the trees.  I dance or climb all while searching for artful compositions.  This is freedom of movement.  In addition, the storage capacity of my digital camera and the relatively little energy required to execute a photo allows me to shoot virtually as many photos as I desire.  This is freedom with subject.  For me, these freedoms increase the pleasure and conceptualization of digital photography.

Living Sculptures

"We can learn a lot from trees: they're always grounded but never stop reaching heavenward."  ~Everett Mámor

Lessons about life and art seem to come from trees just as naturally as do branches and leaves.  I consider it an axiom that trees have an innate wisdom.  And that if we observe them we will see that they reveal both similarities and differences between man's sculptures & the Creator's sculptures.  Trees are the grand ultimate sculpture for they are Living Sculpture.  They change with the seasons, produce fruit & develop through time and circumstance.

Trees have many admirable traits.  Among others they are playful; beautiful; grounded; growing; silent; active; healing; giving; patient; durable and loving! These characteristics make them great role models.  It appears, however that the general failing of mankind to take notice of this, is one of our biggest and most obvious oversights.

"Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money."  ~Cree Indian Proverb
