Darcy Chenoweth, Montana Backcountry Yurts
For International Women’s Day, my photo of Darcy Chenoweth, Cartographer, Artist, Skier, and friend, was published in this incredible article by Emily Sullivan, Voile Ambassador, about the beauty, the challenges, and the unique strengths of women in the mountains. It's an article about celebrating what it means to be a woman in the mountains, and I am so deeply grateful to be able to be a part of this. THIS is why I am a photographer.
“I’ve interacted with the mountains as a relationship. The relationship is messy, blissful, painful and tranquil. I do love the physicality of what the human body can endure, but what I value most is the ability to sit and watch the clouds move over a ridgeline, or to see the patterns of lichen on a rock—to be attentive, to notice. To know that my body fits into the larger whole of the landscape, not existing separate from it.” - Darcy Chenoweth
