Place is a geography of rock, river, field and woods. Place has a history, natural as well as human. Place is a home, be it homestead, henhouse, town, nest, den or cave. Place pushes lifegiving energy through one's own body and soul and renews it. Place enshrines past desires and future hopes for those who dwell there and for this photographer. My cameras have been focused on southwestern rural Wisconsin and rural Illinois for more than thirty years. Views of homebuilding, marriage and motherhood; the woods, river and prairies outside my door; events from the Fourth of July annual chicken dinner to the Cow Chip Throw; the closing and later division of almost 10,000 acres and thousands of structures of the Badger Army Ammunition Plant; even the ravages wrought by highway projects. All of these describe this place.
