"Designated as one of the "Last Great Places' by The Nature Conservancy, the Lower Roanoke River Basin has become one of the greatest land protection stories in U.S. conservation history. This ongoing collaboration between government, business, and The Nature Conservancy grew out of the findings of one scientist, J. Merrill Lynch, now The Nature Conservancy North Carolina Chapter associate director of protection." - from the rear outer cover. "Modern man's search for happiness is a constant struggle. We spend our lives accumulating wealth and property. We build great cities and take pride in our technical achievements, yet many feel there is something missing in their lives. Some ancient cultures believed that there is a powerful force that accumulates in solitude, and that living in crowded cities disspiates spiritual power. During Carl's three-year journey into the backswamps and forests of the Roanoke, he began to understand the power of solitude. What began as a project to photograph the Roanoke River Basin quickly became a personal journey of self-discovery.a journey where Carl learned to enjoy the simple beauty of a very complex natural world, finding uncommon beauty in the most humble of places. Designated one of the "Last Great Places" by The Nature Conservancy, the Roanoke River Basin contains the largest intact and least disturbed bottomland hardwood and cypress, tupelo ecosystem on the Atlantic coast of North America. Most of the images in Vision Quest are intimate photographs of the subtle beauty found throughout the river basin. The remoteness of the river has helped preserve the area. Unfortunately, where man has easy access to the river, his presence is felt. Carl has included some images of man's impact on the land as a reminder to us that the studies and efforts of the many groups working to preserve the Roanoke are doomed to failure unless we change our attitudes. We must begin to look at the natural world differently, not with our eyes, but with our hearts. Carl's journey down the Roanoke was a trip back in time, to a primordial wilderness that has remained relatively unchanged, and should remain that way so all can enjoy its wonders for generations to come." - from the inner front jacket flap.
