This is a photgraph I took of the actual magazine I read and became inspired to try creating my portraits in this rare medium. This magazine, The Mother Earth News, has changed my life and made me more concious of the environment as it has for millions of people over the decades... Thank You, Mother!!  THE PHOTO BELOW IS ME IN 1980 JUST DISCOVERING THE POWER OF THE SUN!!

Below is a link to the original Mother Earth News article that ran in July, 1979 before the article that I read from the May, 1980 Mother Earth News..... PLEASE click on the photo of the magazine to read the article and comments at (themotherearthnews.com)
