Brevard North Carolina. Nestled
in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina, lies
beautiful Transylvania County. Literally meaning "across the
woods", there is no more appropriate name for this area as the
visitor is instantly awed by the intense foliage that dominates the
County. Transylvania County is the home of the Cradle of Forestry, the
site of the first forestry school in America, founded in the early
1900s. More than 50% of Transylvania County is covered by our three
parklands: Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest and
Gorges State Park. Our ideal location makes us the Gateway to
Outdoor Recreation in the Southeast. Transylvania County, nicknamed
the Land of Waterfalls, is home to over 260 waterfalls.

PHOTOGRAPHY. The camera is a powerful medium. it can
include or exclude as you wish. what do you see? what do you want to see?
what do
you want someone else to see? we understand from our experiences; we
understand from where we have come. our eyes are so different. I believe
every photographer wants to present a gift to the observer, a gift of
something previously unseen, a gift of perspective, a gift of beauty. J

drawn by son John at age 12, symbolizes the joy and happiness the family
hopes will be yours in the sharing of their craft. Mus
