""Through her sunprints of the plants of the tallgrass prairie, woodlands, and the western landscape, Lindy Smith invites us to engage in a different way of seeing. Switchgrass, vervain, meadow rue, cinquefoil, thimbleweed...so many common and uncommon plants are brought to our attention. As I turned the pages, I found myself exclaiming once again at the beauty of these plants, and appreciating them afresh. Thank you, Lindy Smith, for opening our eyes to the treasures of our landscape of home."" -- Cindy Crosby, author of The Tallgrass Prairie: An Introduction

Author Information

Lindy Smith was raised in Iowa and spent childhood summers  camping with her family in the West. Her father, a high school chemistry and physics teacher, gave her a Brownie camera and taught her to develop film in the school darkroom. Her mother, an elementary school teacher, took her on many nature walks during those summer camping trips.    She received a degree in French and photography from Bennington College and received a certificate of completion at L’Universite de Caen in Normandy. She founded Visual Concepts, a display and interior design firm In Massachusetts. She returned to photography in 1992 after observing a Buck Brannaman horsemanship clinic in Wyoming, which led to seven years of documenting ranch life from Montana to Arizona. In 2000 she began making images under sunlight. This work is in many public and private collections. THOMAS McGUANE lives on a ranch in McLeod, Montana. He is the author of ten novels, including the National Book Award-nominated Ninety-two in the Shade, three works of nonfiction, and four collections of stories.
