The first art photography book to provide aerial views of Vermont. The drone images’ stunningly rich colors, details, shadows, and moods have a meditative effect that will be appreciated by a wide audience. Caleb Kenna’s vertiginous views of Vermont invite a new way of looking at the Green Mountain State. These stunningly abstract drone images reveal hidden patterns and are rich with detail, colour, shadow, and mood. Tractor tracks on a field in Weybridge; fresh snowfall on an apple orchard in Cornwall; a swirl of river in the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge in Brunswick. The 130 colour photographs, most of them taken around the Champlain Valley, were inspired by Alfred Stieglitz’s Equivalent series and the work of his protege, Minor White. They invite us on a journey of excitement and discovery, one that Kenna has described as a daily practice and a form of meditation.
