Over the course of three years Michel Delsol walked and photographed the same area of Prattsville forest in the Catskills, creating his "Nature" series. The cover image is temporarily titled Tree Number One. Delsol used a Rolleiflex camera in order to capture images as he saw them. Delsol explained that when you use a single lens reflexive camera (a "regular" camera), a mirror comes up, separating the image that is seen and the image that is captured by about 20 seconds. The Rolleiflex, a twin lens reflex camera, does not use a mirror. There is no interruption in the flow of time. "It is more an exercise in time than photography," Delsol explained.

Tree Number One was the first photograph he took in the "Nature" series. "The inspiration was not any one particular tree, but more the nature walk," said Delsol. "I'm not sure why that one spoke to me first, that is a part of the mystery."
