Field Footage

Camera sliding into a tranquil forest on a sunny day

The light coming through the trees. The same light Leopold watched from his shack.

Walking a path through a dense forest

A step. A pause. A scan. Another step. The rhythm of the still hunt.

Huge trees in a large green forest

The oaks are bare by November. The beeches hold their leaves.

Water flowing down the river over rocks

The current pushing against the stones. The oldest sound.

Small river in the forest

Clear enough to see the bottom. Dark enough to hide the fish.

Little rocky river in the woods

The river took the thought of fishing from me. The way a river takes a leaf from the surface.

Fog on the heights of snowy mountains

The valley holding its breath before the light arrives.

Flying over a monumental rocky mountain

The land that does not belong to you. That permits your passage.

Lush green valley with mountains and cloudy sky

The September light. Angled, warm, golden.

Aerial view of lush wetlands

Where the ducks descend. The tearing-paper sound of wings.

Aerial view of a large river valley

The flyway from above. Two thousand miles of sky.

Flying low over a large river in nature

The cotton drifting on the surface. The trout rising through it.
