This is a photo of my favorite Bristlecone Pine tree, somewhere in the White Mountains of California. I must have over 100 photos of this tree - multiple cameras, multiple sensors and multiple film emulsions. This photo is one of my favorites.

While it may look like the tree is dying, Bristlecone Pine trees contain both living and dead parts. Damaged areas are sectioned off by the tree in order to save the rest of the tree. This tree can be up to 2,000 years old.

Image Transcription:

[A gouache painting of a young tan man dressed casually in black boots, jeans, white tank top, and a red scarf. On his head is an astronaut's helmet. He holds up his hands to cup a floating blue pinecone. The man is intertwined in the rippling bark of the bristlecone pine the rises over his head. Bright yellow and beige bark contrasts starkly against a cool grey sky, only broken by a crescent moon to the upper right of the canvas.]
