"Nature has long been my one true solace. Many of my most fond childhood
memories include an old birch tree, a
neighborhood pond, a field of canola, and an unnamed hill overflowing with
blueberries.
10% of proceeds from Sacred Planet will be donated to the Alaska Nature Conservancy.
Sacred Planet is a photographic expression of my gratitude for
nature's majestic beauty, and a reminder of the importance of sacred places. I
believe that as stewards of this wondrous planet, we ought to joyfully attend
to the protection of its precious and breathtaking fragility." 
Born in Alaska and raised in Alberta, Homer writer and photographer Christina
Whiting strives to capture the beauty of Alaska's landscapes and wildlife with
grace and humility. "I am drawn to photograph from the inside out; that is, I
see first with my heart and then with my eye." Enjoying a life of simplicity,
in a rustic cabin tucked back in the woods and surrounded by nature's bounty,
Christina says "I am blessed to share this special space with the many birds,
squirrels, voles, eagles, porcupine, crows, moose and black bear that frequent
here. Stepping out my front door in to this spectacular, ever-changing
panorama of forest and mountains, beach and sky, nature's beauty touches my
soul and I am reminded daily of what a gift it is to live here in the North."
