Yesterday, I finished watching Ken Burns' The National Parks: America's Best Idea. It's a well-made documentary about our national parks system - its formation and importance as part of our national heritage. The film is both fascinating and beautiful - check it out on Netflix.
I then came across this exhibition of Scot Miller's work at Dallas' Sun to Moon Gallery, 'Thoroughly Thoreau by Scot Miller: Photographs from Walden, Cape Cod and the Maine Woods.' I found the similarities too strong to be just coincidence, and so we have today's pick.
See you tomorrow, and don't forget to check out the ads over there ----->>>
As you may recall from reading Walden in high school lit class, Henry David Thoreau was one of our country's earliest conservationists. In creating Thoroughly Thoreau, Miller spent more than eleven years artistically photographing the places Henry David Thoreau explored and described in his writings of the mid-nineteenth century, particularly Walden, Cape Cod and The Maine Woods.
The exhibition benefits the Walden Woods Project, in honor of WWP's 20th anniversary. This bears another strange coincidence: the Walden Woods Project was founded by Dallas resident and Eagles band member Don Henley, whom I will be seeing perform Sunday at Austin City Limits.
It was meant to be.
It was meant to be.
