Kevin Day’s ‘One Dead Tree’ is an ongoing project that has lasted five years. Kevin photographs the same dead tree hundreds of times, but each picture is incredibly different and unique. The tree is located in Berkshire, UK.
Kevin says of ‘One Dead Tree,’ “There is this wonderful old tree unchanging over the years and yet I can take hundreds of photos of it during the seasons and very few of them look the same. It is all about the change around the constant.”
