Photographer Spends 14 Years Immortalizing World's Oldest Trees in Black and White Images

San Francisco-based photographer Beth Moon spent the past 14 years traveling the world in search of the most ancient trees. Her new book Ancient Trees: Portraits of Time is the culmination of her years of documentation.

The trees are printed in platinum, a process that highlights the textures and tonal value of her majestic subjects. Many of the trees are so remote and immense that viewing them seems to take you back in time.
