My mother getting it done….helping me put the roof on my Lathe House this afternoon (July 15th). She is the most incredible human I know - like most mothers with their children. She turns 67 next week.
She grew up on a farm in Minnesota, I grew up in town, but now I live on a farm. There is something about people who grow up on real working farms or ranches, may it be in the USA or Thailand or Ethiopia, it's all the same thing, these human beings have a connection to the cycles of the earth that most people do not. They are from the earth.

The Lathe House is sourced out of blue-streaked lodgepole pine trees from western Wyoming, in a region where I live a few months each year while photographing ungulate migration. Pine bark beetles inject a fungus into the tree after they lay their eggs, this fungus eventually kills the tree. The fungus leaves a mark, which is equally as beautiful as it is a visual connector to what is currently happening to Mother earth. She is changing, quickly, and many of her trees are dieing, quickly. Just in the intermountain West, there is over 700,000 acres of dead-standing lodgepole pine forest. Mother earth is warming. The Lathe House in this picture that I'm building with help from old friends and my mother, is a reminder of what was.
