Chased by the Light: Jim Brandenburg
|
8/25/2009 -
11/14/2009
Jim Brandenburg, Ely, MN, traveled the globe as a photographer with National Geographic Magazine for over 30 years and has won a multitude of national and international awards. The "Chased by the Light" photographs were all taken in the deep woods surrounding Brandenburg's home, Ravenwood, near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, in northern Minnesota. They represent his feelings about the essence of wild places - a raven feather in the rain; a tree marked by a bear; a frosty meadow; lichens; an abandoned beaver dam; a wolf chasing ravens; or the aurora borealis in the nighttime sky.
