Vanishing Point is a collection of complementary photographs, poetry, and prose written in and around the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest in the western Cascade Mountains of Oregon. A product of the Ecological Reflections program, Vanishing Point is a unique blend of science, visual artistry, and the written word that represents the simultaneous fragility and resilience of life on Earth.
Aaron M. Ellison is the Senior Research Fellow in Ecology at Harvard University, and a semi-professional photographer and writer. He studies the disintegration and reassembly of ecosystems following natural and anthropogenic disturbances; thinks about the relationship between the Dao and the intermediate disturbance hypothesis; reflects on the critical and reactionary stance of Ecology relative to Modernism, blogs as The Unbalanced Ecologist, and tweets as @AMaxEll17. On weekends, he works wood.
