Places Volume 3

From Jerry
Spring is doing its best to get started up here in northern New England, and I’m excited
to get moving on some new projects for 2017, which include photographing several land
protection projects, revising my fall foliage guide book, and starting work on a new
feature-length documentary film set in New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.
But like the snow still clinging to the high country, much of this issue of Places has
a wintry feel while featuring what I shot this past winter and during the last several
months of 2016.
I may be a little slow to join in on fads, but I recently added a drone to my collection of
gear. I’m still getting used to shooting remotely – it’s a different feeling than shooting
while sitting in an airplane or helicopter – but it should be an ideal tool for many of
my conservation photo projects. You can see some old-school aerials that I shot from
a Cessna late last summer for The Conservation Fund in the story starting on page 18.
Perhaps the biggest conservation story in New England from the last six months was
President Obama’s designation of the new Katahdin Woods and Waters National
Monument in northern Maine. I was excited to explore a portion of the park on skis in
February as some friends and I took advantage of one of the park’s (free!) backcountry
cabins. Photos from this visit and others I’ve made to the park are on pages 4 – 9.
The rest of Places takes you on winter adventures, to Acadia National Park, and to some
colorful fall landscapes – enjoy!
