For the past 5 years I have been researching, working with biologists and traveling the world to photograph continuously living organisms 2,000 years old an older. The project, called "The Oldest Living Things in the World", is part art and part science, with an underlying environmental component. It's also intended to provide a lens in which to consider Deep Time. The Oldest Living Things are a celebration of our past, a call to action in the present, and a barometer of our future.
