VOICES of WINTER : A Photographic Inquiry into the Forces and Artifacts of the Dark Season

A near accident precipitates a three-month meditation on the transformations of water and the fractal patterns appearing within photographer George Nicholson's Woodstock, N.Y., property. This book documents images and writings from the artist's open-eyed meditation on the transformative nature of winter and delvies into the psychological relationship between photographer and Mother Nature, Nicholson crafts delightful and thought-provoking essays in answer to two questions: 1) Why isn't there an ancient Greek God of Ice? 2) If photography had existed during ancient times, what Olympian personage might the ancient Greeks designated as its aegis? "Voices of Winter" is a singular photographic achievement and reveals the inmost workings of the creative process. Aspiring nature photographers are offered a bounty of insights from this work.
