New Hampshire's Hidden Places
By Darren Garnick
Thursday, March 1, 2012
Nature photographer Jerry Monkman has been disappearing for a living since 2000, capturing New England's most pristine patches of wilderness for various conservation organizations and his own series of workshops and coffee table books. Based in Portsmouth, Monkman and his wife Marcy run Eco Photography Inc., pledging to "start where the road ends."
Yes, even in a state where mini golf and outlet stores creep on the outskirts of the most popular natural preserves, there remain unblemished places conducive to manufacturing spiritual moments - provided that your cell phone is at least on buzz mode.
"Finding solitude is a huge part of the equation for me," says Jerry Monkman, recent author of "The AMC Guide to Digital Outdoor Photography." "My business is all about building awareness and support for the wildest places in New England. The idea of being alone in nature dates at least as far back as Henry David Thoreau and continues on through John Muir and the giant redwoods."
"It's part of human nature and the American myth to believe there is a frontier, a wilderness to escape and remake yourself as you face the ever-changing challenges of the real world.
