Brett Pelletier Photography - White Mountains National Forest Gallery - This gallery is as important to me as the New Hampshire and Vermont Fall Foliage Gallery in that growing up in the area and now visiting family that lives there it elevates a special spirit in me to capture this amazing place for its unique beauty. There is only one image in my home, out of many as you can imagine, that I am not the artist. It isn't some fantastic image that I inspire to re-capture by a well known photographer, but simply a poster-shot taken from on top of Wildcat Mountain looking across at Mount Washington's western face and Tuckermans Ravine. Childhood memories cause me to pause and reflect. I didn't get the shot while I was home. I didn't really even get a chance. Visibility never co-operated with my plans and there was only one day it could of happened out of ten and I was on the opposite side of this gigantic mountain. So, I adjusted as you often have to being a vacationing photographer and took advantage of the rare clear day to shoot the Mount Washington Hotel and the Mount Washington Panoramic. I did however spend a lot of time out doors while I was home and tried to capture the real back woods feel in many of my shots like Trees and Trio Pond Camp and also the gems off the beaten path like Little Red Barn and Big Red Garage. Also in this gallery from a couple of winters ago I captured a favorite of mine at Cherry Pond and Old Railroad Post. In the end, wanting to go back and get that shot of Tuckermans I have as a poster on my wall, just gives me another reason to go 'home' and be with the family I love.
