The South Lake Tahoe couple is intent on preserving and restoring Lake Tahoe one photograph and one poem at a time. We want to make friends for Lake Tahoe and help people to understand that it is worth saving. I had Indigo Dawn set on an easel outside his trailer. The photograph, Indigo Dawn, now resides over the fireplace in Gore's private family room. Each poem is specific to the image.
People experience and absorb things differently.
We try to open every avenue of learning. For instance, there is Yellowstone photographer William Henry Jackson who brought photographs to Washington, D.C. in the 1870s to convince Congress to create the national park. Hearts of Light got its name from the hearts that serendipitously seem to appear in most of the photographs. The heart can be found in the long afternoon shadow, a cloud, a rock, or a couple of trees in their autumn finery. His photographic career has had a circuitous path.
