What Wild Looks Like


You might have to hike a ways, but thankfully, it is still possible to find wild places in America. You might have to risk getting scratched by the brambles or falling on your ass as you slosh through cold water, but you can get there. These places can be on public or private land, and sometimes you have to hear about the exact location from another person. But you can find them. They are characterized by chaos, untidiness and diversity and can be a challenge to photograph. Your images of these places, ironically, may not be your most popular either. For some, I guess, the idea of the wild is what is captivating.
