Exploring Eclectic Perspectives in Images and Words
About
Martha Retallick is a Tucson-based documentary photographer and journalist.
She’s drawn to documentation projects that feature people in action. They’re building and renovating houses, creating or improving landscapes, and making and fixing things. Or they’re celebrating life passages like weddings, exhibiting vintage cars, competing in bicycle races, or just pedaling around town.
In addition to documentation, Martha enjoys photographing nature. She just published City Nature, a coffee table book that features the best of her nature photography. Learn more about City Nature.
City Nature!
A Whole Earth Catalog for our time, this book addresses all the important things: food, water, cookies, flowers, bees, and bicycles. Part practical guide, part personal diary, many parts gorgeous coffee table book, City Nature is for anyone looking to learn how to be a better steward of one’s own backyard, as well as a visual celebration of what grows from dirt when we take the time to nurture it. A must for the preservation of our dwindling resources, presented with positivity and
clear instructions!
