Daniel Cheek has been working on an ongoing series of photos titled Where We Go. In a nutshell, it tackles the human desire to be a part of wilderness, but in a created environment close enough to the wilderness that will offer protection. This photograph captures his target goal perfectly in my opinion, and says quite a bit while showing very little. I don’t normally post photo prints, but this really caught my eye, and I hope it does the same for some of you. Below are the purchase details for Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Florida.

These prints are created using archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper with a luster finish.

Our quoted dimensions are for the size of paper containing the images, not the printed image itself. We do not alter the aspect ratio, nor do we crop or resize the artists’ originals. All of our prints have a minimum border of .5 inches to allow for framing.

I made this photograph while working on an ongoing series called Where We Go. In broad, the series is about where people go to enjoy nature, and how we rarely have an unadulterated experience of it. We go to places that were built for us to get close to the wilderness without having to experience the harshness of true outdoors. The other side of the project is about where my wife and I take our young son for recreation. Having a baby changes everything about how one experiences the world. Alone is no longer lonesome, and the sunshine is never taken for granted.
