Lerryn woods, Cornwall. This piece shows my proficiency in Photoshop. It is about how there are always different paths for us to take, and how when they are blurred, it can be easy to stray from them
After months of work (years if you count the contents), I'm so excited to finally announce the release of my two latest books! These are a little smaller, less expensive, more specialized than my earlier photography books. They've both 7x7 inches, 80 pages, $30 each. They capture so much of the soul of my days right now, when life and death is absolutely on the edge. Somewhere in the limbo between spring and winter.

The Private Life of the Forest Floor contains all my wanderings crouching, crawling, slithering in the sleepy basement of the woods. Photos and prose, excerpts from my daily journal going back the past decade. A mixture of mushrooms, fungi, flowers, and discarded junk. Tiny things of beauty.

Darkness on the Face of the Earth covers the same time period, ten years with a fascination for the aching passing of life. It keeps the tenuousness in check, where whales wash up, and roadkill appears on the shoulder of crumbling highways. It's a sadness that teaches me to love what's living.

You've seen them both before ~ but this is what they look like when relaxing.

Nola Treat and Lenore Richards
In the winter of 1924, Richard’s Treat Cafeteria opened in downtown Minneapolis. The tiny eatery was the venture of two young U of M home economics professors, Nola Treat and Lenore Richards. The pair had published the book Quantity Cookery in 1922, just as the need for instruction on institutional cooking (for school, hospital and workplace cafeterias where quantity was as important as quality) was becoming apparent.
With the slogan “Your home downtown”, classic, comfortable décor, and a reliably delicious rotating menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items, Richard’s Treat quickly became a success. Over the years, the downtown establishment not only expanded to four more dining areas in the building, but added modern improvements like air conditioning. These qualities contributed to Richard’s Treat keeping the doors open during the Great Depression and the turmoil of World War Two.
In 1943, Nola Treat was the first woman to be appointed to the board of the Minneapolis Civic Council, and in 1945, Lenore Richards became a director of The National Restaurant Association. In 1957, the pair was named to American Restaurant’s Hall of Fame.
After 33 successful years, Richard’s Treat was forced to close its doors due to the destruction of the building to make way for a new downtown bank. The women continued to advise and consult with businesses and institutions on their dining programs and left generous donations to Millikin University in Decatur, Ill, Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Abbott Northwestern Hospital.
Lenore Richards passed away in 1971, and Nola Treat in 1983. The two are buried next to one another, the long relationship both personal and professional remembered to this day. Lenore’s letters to Nola sum up the pair perfectly. In January of 1918, Lenore wrote to Nola, “Let’s get something to do together, I can live and work so much happier when I am with you and I feel so stupid and uninspired when I am alone.” The next year Lenore wrote to Nola, “The further I go, and the more I think about the possibility of losing you, the more I realize how happy I am, and how hard working without you would be. For with no one to work with, and no one to laugh with, and no one to love with, life would be too dull.”
"The enduring legacy of Nola Treat and Lenore Richards extends well beyond the generous gift Miss Treat gave to help fund construction on our campus of the student center, including our dining hall, that bears their name," says Millikin University President Patrick White. "These two women achieved outstanding success as business owners at a time in our national history when that accomplishment was rare for women. The drive, courage, and indefatigable energy with which they lived their lives stand as an example to Millikin women and men of the entrepreneurial spirit we strive to empower in all of today's Millikin students as they seek to fulfill their best imaginations of who they can become.” Dr. Patrick White, President of Millikin University, the alma mater of Miss Treat and home to a student center named in honor of both Miss Richards and Miss Treat

Two hundred ninety two of the 3,500 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division Soldiers returned from a yearlong deployment to Afghanistan and were welcomed home by friends, family, and fellow servicemembers during a ceremony at Fort Knox's Natcher Physical Fitness Center at 11 a.m. Dec. 31.
One of the brigade’s six battalions – the 1st Battalion, 6th Field Artillery Regiment – uncased its flag during the ceremony, signifying the return of the unit’s command group.
As part of Task Force Duke, 3/1 Soldiers helped bring security and stability to the Khowst and Paktya provinces in Afghanistan. In addition to military operations, the brigade provided education and mentorship to the Afghan National Security Forces and opened never before established communication channels between the Afghan government and its people. Overall brigade accomplishments include the following: More than 14,000 combat patrols with the Afghan National Security Forces; about 4,500 unilateral patrols; and about 1,600 insurgents captured, 280 of which were identified as insurgent leadership.

The desert stretch of I-40 between Holbrook and Flagstaff features several exits that aren't towns, just old Route 66 gas stations. One of them is Two Guns, a now-abandoned wild west theme park, with a graffiti ravaged entrance sign and faded western characters still visible on an old storage tank. What's unique about Two Guns is that its ruins are built atop the ruins of an older, equally ill-fated place named Canyon Diablo, a genuine Wild West ghost town. Canyon Diablo's great claim to fame was that its residents once dug up a dead gunslinger, gave him a shot of whisky, then posed for pictures with the corpse. All that remains of Two Guns/Canyon Diablo is a sign reading "Mountain Lions" (its most prominent feature), some crumbling stone buildings, a set of gas pumps that appear to have exploded, and the ruins of the Route 66 concrete arch bridge over the canyon - See more at: www.roadsideamerica.com/story/16406#sthash.eTzjWRU0.dpuf
