Looking for Landscapes – Scenic and Landscape Photography
Of landscapes, as of people, one becomes more tolerant after one’s twentieth year…We learn to look at them, not in the flat but in depth, as things to be burrowed into.

PhotoQuilts by Lorelle and Brent VanFossen
After receiving my first sewing machine as a birthday present while Brent and I were on the road across North America, I started experimenting with what I could possibly make.
