In the introduction to this book Michael Auping writes, "The essence of a Fulton walk is simply that he `be there,' moving through the landscape in search of little more than a place to sleep at the end of the day and a practical serenity with whatever might take place in unfamiliar or familiar terrain...Fulton's interpretation of nature, the reasons he chooses to photograph particular images, is a direct result of his physical involvement with it." This book documents Fulton's spiritual project. His photographs and the accompanying text are a record of inquiry into the relationship one man has with the natural world.
