An elegant pictorial journey through the Palouse country, eastern Washington's regional paradise.

"Jerry McCollum's photographs somehow find a way inside the moment so the images are at once iconic and immediate to the click of his shutter. We feel their pull on personal experience and memory. In this way, his photographs not only describe a place, but reinforce experiences of contemplation and wonder - I want to revisit that kind of time and place again."

"Jerry McCollum has managed to capture his own nature through the lens of his camera. This is no accident (although those certainly exist in his life and his work). These images are generated through an intimate relationship with the land, its flora and fauna, its light and shadow. Miles of quiet investigation over nooks and crannies of the Palouse have become more real to all of us because of the relentless, poetic, pursuant nature that resides in his heart and mind. I for one am grateful."
