Acerca del libro
The Pine Forest subdivision of Bastrop, Texas was photographed by Mark Goodman in black and white, 1996-2001, in color, 2009-2010, and also one final image taken with a borrowed digital camera, on September 16, 2011, following the Bastrop County Complex Wildfire that started September 4, 2011, a Sunday afternoon on Labor Day weekend. This wildfire burned along a twenty-four mile front consuming thirty-five thousand acres, half of the Lost Pines Forest, including Goodman’s three acres, house of twenty-four years, and the places he photographed. It was the most destructive wildfire in Texas history. Forest Bathing is a poetic view of what was lost.
