These photographs are from my project: City of Trees: The Natural Monuments of Washington DC. The first thing I try to do with my work is eliminate or minimize all signs of humanity. I try to create pristine landscapes out of the chaos that is modern development. In essence, I am rejecting human presence and the premise that in order to discuss environmental issues, we must show its abuse. In the case of City of Trees, the trees are located within the heavily touristed area of the National Mall.
