<p>There are not many Elders left in the world, but maybe some day. We just expand so damn fast. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I did all my own photography for this- but I did end up using two free textures that I really liked (the cracks). Overall I had never done much with lighting before so this was a good way to learn for me. Can&#39;t say exactly how many hours this took- or even how many pictures of trees I took. Quite a lot overall. My images are from all over: Peru, upstate NY, Sierra Nevada Mountains, Grand Canyon, Mono Lake, Great Basin&hellip; </p>
