"In 2010 the Cleveland Clinic commissioned me to make a body of work to be permanently installed in the corridor of the hospital. I installed 22 photographs of Lake Erie as it moved through the seasons. The photographs in this book also traverse the seasons of Northern Ohio but rely more on mapping the personal and political through a visual narrative. From fall to summer there were six trips to Sandusky. The images in this book are my poetic gestures that connect to that nostalgic realm and its ever-present potency"--From colophon.

The hunting grounds of the Old world / 1st series

Rare Books

"The following pages, descriptive in their different incidents in a Hunter's life, are selections from the journal of a wanderer over many lands, which, having excited a certain degree of interest amongst a class who have themselves participated in similar scenes, the Author has laid before the Public; in the hope that some of his comrades, many of whom are 'might hunters,' and abler with the pen than himself, will follow his example, and disseminate the knowledge they have acquired by experience during their sojourn in the 'pathless woods,' as their accounts cannot fail to be of intense interest to their brother sportsmen, and a great assistance to the uninitiated who may wish to follow in their footsteps"--From preface.
