“These are part of my Industrial Nature series. When I first started, I was very careful <strong>in</strong> my fram<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
show only the tree or the bush, but then I thought about the old debate among nature photographers on<br />
the ethics of disclos<strong>in</strong>g whether an animal was photographed <strong>in</strong> the wild or <strong>in</strong> captivity. I decided to start<br />
depict<strong>in</strong>g my subjects the way they were, <strong>in</strong> their context. This is nature as it is…or as I see it. The bridge is<br />
<strong>in</strong> New Jersey, and the load<strong>in</strong>g dock is somewhere <strong>in</strong> New York City. It’s a lot of work f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g locations—as<br />
you can imag<strong>in</strong>e, sometimes access can be hairy. I research and scout locations dur<strong>in</strong>g the day, then go<br />
back at night. For these photos, I used a Nikon D300 and 17–35mm lens. Both exposures were 30 sec at<br />
ISO 200, the bridge at f/8 and the load<strong>in</strong>g dock at f/6.3.”<br />
