Oregon photographer Nancy Floyd documents our connection to trees

When Guggenheim award-winning photographer and Bend resident Nancy Floyd takes on a project, she’s in it for the long haul. She began her best-known project, “Weathering Time,” in 1982. Just out of grad school at Cal Arts, she planned to take a single picture of herself in her apartment every morning for 20 years to capture how she aged. But the most striking aspect of this collection isn’t the change we see in Floyd in pictures that show her with friends, family, pets, and the clothing and objects that mark each time period, but how her world — and by extension ours — changes, with the people and things that anchor us shifting as the years accumulate.
