Home Fires, Volume II: The Present

In stark contrast, the photographs in Volume II (subtitled The Present) were taken over a period of seven years and concern the area that I now call home: a rugged and remote location on the western edge of the Great Basin. Again it is centered primarily upon Winter (as in the first volume), but the imagery is broader in scope and describes more of a seasonal arc – from the late dry season, when the cows come in from their high desert grazing allotments, when fire danger is at its peak and there are fresh burn scars, up through the deep Winter and then on into the thaw/melt period. — Bruce Haley * Bruce Haley *
