ABOUT LESSONS FROM THE LANDSCAPE:
Lessons from the Landscape: Yellowstone National Park features Sarah Marino's portfolio of photographs created within the borders of America's first National Park.
Through her eclectic and diverse portfolio of photographs and eleven deeply personal essays, Lessons from the Landscape is meant to inspire, invite contemplation about our motivations for photographing nature, encourage practices that can lead to greater personal satisfaction through photography, and explore the ways that we can connect more deeply with the natural world. This ebook is not a location guide for Yellowstone National Park and includes few location references. Instead, it is contemplative work meant to convey Sarah's connection with and interpretations of this dynamic, surreal landscape.
Five percent of the revenue from this ebook will be donated to the Greater Yellowstone Coalition to help offset the impact of our travel in the park.
LESSONS FROM THE LANDSCAPE INCLUDES:
