Exhibit Title:
Tree Hugger Travel Michigan “Following the Deer Trail” Nature and Travel Photography by M. Petra Daher

Technical Statement: 
I filmed clips and captured photographs for an upcoming documentary and travel guide about  Michigan for my travel series, Tree Hugger Travel.  These images were captured using natural light during various times of the day with minimal photo editing. I used a Canon cameras and a Canon EFS 18-135 mm lens in various locations throughout the state of Michigan.

Artist Statement for Tree Hugger Travel Michigan “Following the Deer Trail”:  
Michigan offers incredible culture and natural beauty in every county of the state.   Exploring Michigan’s beautiful landscape, beaches and architecture have always been a source of strength and inspiration for me.

After the loss of several family members in 2015, I was seeking out special places as a way to comfort myself.   I explored “charged’ places including: Grand Haven, New Era, Little Platte Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Torch Lake, Mackinaw City and Lansing’s beautiful River Trail. Capturing these photographs was part of a healing process for me.

I hope these images awaken something deep and wild inside of you. From sunrise to sunset …every day is an opportunity to experience beauty and joy. The most beautiful things are off the beaten path, so when adventuring in Michigan follow the deer trail!

To view the exhibit:
Please visit the Michigan Economic Development Fund’s Pure Michigan Building, 300 North Washington Square, Lansing, Michigan from 8-5, Monday- Friday, through April 12, 2016. Sponsored by Michigan ArtShare.
