It is a compelling photographic portrait of this planet we call Earth. freeman patterson lives at Shamper's Bluff, New Brunswick near his childhood home. He has given numerous photographic workshops in the United States, Israel, England, Australia and New Zealand and has received numerous awards including, in 2001, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Nature Photography Association.
