My wife, Nicole, my son, Ethan, and my daughter, Maya, who are in all the work I make.
Designer
David Meredith, who has taught me so much as we have grown through six books and innumerable projects together.
Retoucher
Justin Cohen and I have been working together for twelve years. During this time we have made countless images, slowly evolving a process with which we are endlessly fascinated.
Production
Erika Yorio has worked tirelessly to ensure that all aspects of not just this project, but all studio initiatives, come together seamlessly. Her talents have been exercised in multiple areas from writing to production.
Elan Moss-Bachrach, Amy Hall Browne, Will Heath, and Nick Lee, who, at various stages, provided and organized the materials to make this project possible.
This book could not have been created without the collaboration of the various institutions and horticulturalists who have generously donated their time and expertise.
