This book by Momo Thome is a glimpse in to the
life and times of our native trees. The photographer has put together a
fine art piece of work that conveys a message.
Thome has always shot images that have interested them and fascinated
the inner most sensual and thought provoking parts of the natural world.
Publishing these images show such a striking emotion as can only be
portrayed through black and white images. The imaging of inanimate
objects, Thome feels the pain of the life in these views.

The images in this book show a glimpse, some of the
private life and the tragedy that has befallen many of our great trees.
With all Thome’s work, every picture tells a story and every picture
speaks a thousand words. Thome’s images show a being that has survived
the rigours of the weather and all other external forces have thrown at
them. These images are a reminder of what we don’t see when we are
running around in our busy daily grind, not giving a thought for the
future or for that matter the past.

Thome argues that humans shape and destroy habitats without
thinking, with no thought for or of any consequence as to what will be
there in a hundred years time. Why, would he when his life span is but a
mere fraction of some of our beeches, planes, yews and great oaks.
Printing in black and white Thome has gone back to basics and the use of
the mono in order to convey to the world a message. Look after things.
The book will be published and available from 1st August 2007. The work
will be exhibited at Ayscoughfee Hall, Spalding during the month of
February 2008.
