The powerful spirit of Mother transcends all boundaries of nationality, culture and class. This truth is eloquently expressed in the remarkable images presented here. From heaven to earth the mystique of Mother shines from each page.
Photographer Jim Erickson first felt drawn to the subject of Mother through his love of paintings. In countless hours in countless museums, he found himself attracted more and more to paintings of mothers. In 1996, Jim decided to dedicate his personal work to the subject of Mother, and for four years he carved time out of his demanding schedule to create these pictures. The result is a book both universal and intimately personal.
MOTHER resonates with each viewing. Evocative, haunting, mystical, lighthearted, humorous, symbolic, these photographs yield richer meaning with each visit. A true labor of love and commitment, MOTHER is a photographic work of exceptional depth.

Memories of Mount St. Helens

In the spring of 1980, Mount St. Helens awoke from a century-long slumber with a series of dramatic changes. Most threatening was a bulge on the side of the snowy peak, pushing steadily outward. Near Spirit Lake, local resident Harry Truman refused to leave his lodge, even as scientists like David Johnston warned about potential destruction. On May 18, the mountain finally blew, enveloping whole communities in ash and smoke. Mudflows destroyed bridges, houses and highways, and fifty-seven people, including Truman and Johnston, lost their lives. Today, the mountain is quiet. Plants and animals have returned and hiking trails have been rebuilt, but the scars remain. Join author and journalist Jim Erickson as he recounts the unforgettable saga of the Mount St. Helens eruption.
