Chris Chantland is an artist from Michigan with a vision for a web site dedicated to selling the work of some amazing artists, including my friend Jack Tribble and his bird carvings. It is truly worth a visit and while you are there listen to some of the music he has companioned with my photographs.

Headwaters: A Journey on Alabama Rivers, is the story of Alabama told by master story-teller John C. Hall, with photographs of Alabama’s rivers by conservation photographer Beth Maynor Young.

This book has been a long time in the making, Robin McDonald did a remarkable job uniting the story and the photographs into an extraordinary piece of work. The foreword by Rick Middleton, the Director of the Southern Environmental Law Center is very insightful. Headwaters is a very elegant and beautiful statement about Alabama. We are now one of the few states to have a book about our rivers.
