David Bayles

Four years working as a logger in the mid-1970s fueled David Paul Bayles' photography exploring the complex relationship between humans and trees. His work has been widely published, exhibited, and collected, with his first monograph Urban Forest: Images of Trees in the Human Landscape named one of the best photo books of the year by the Christian Science Monitor. The Bancroft Library at University of California Berkeley created an archive for his life's work. Bayles lives in Philomath, Oregon.
