"Carl Kurtz is a photographer who blooms where he is rooted. He puts into words and images what people who love nature and the Midwest wish they could say and do. Each image and comment provides something to think about beyond the week they were originally shared."—Linda and Robert Scarth, authors, Deep Nature: Photographs from Iowa
UI Press editor, Holly Carver, sat down with Carl Kurtz to ask him a few questions about the inspiration for his book and his life as a photographer. Check back Monday to read the conclusion of the interview!
Holly Carver: You’ve been sending out a nature photo
and a short essay every week for more than eight years. How did this
start?
Carl Kurtz: This
began as a means to share observations with others and to encourage them to
look more carefully at the world we live in.
HC: Is it hard, some weeks, to find a
worthy subject? If you have more than one candidate, how do you decide which to
feature?
CK: Some
weeks, it is difficult to locate a suitable subject and other weeks, I may have
half a dozen or more. I try to use what is most characteristic for that time of
year and, if possible, something new that I have not used before.
