Upon opening your YourLand portfolio, the beauty of your land trust or nature preserve is revealed through a series of sensitively seen, finely reproduced, black and white giclee prints. Using the historical methods of letterpress printing, a title page and a brief writing about your preserve or land trust is printed and accompanies this elegant series of images. Both images and text are bound within a hand crafted portfolio made from handmade paper.

  When combining the finely crafted, archival processes of giclee printing and letterpress printing with bookmaking materials of archival quality, we not only create an portfolio of the land’s beauty. We also create new opportunities for your preserve or trust members and visitors to appreciate the beauty and sacredness of the land that is entrusted with them.

 

With each purchase of your YourLand Portrait portfolio, a donation is given to your nature preserve or land trust to assist in their fund raising efforts.

 

 

Some variations on the above portfolio theme include:

• A collaboration between myself, as the photographer, and a nature writer. Where each of us express our personal responses and relationship to your nature preserve or land trust.
• A collaboration between myself, as the photographer, and a nature writer. Where the writer produces a written cultural and natural history of your land.
• A series of original black and white silver gelatin prints, matted and placed within a clamshell portfolio box accompanied by either a title page and / or extended writings.
• Texts printed digitally not letterpress.
