That is, it's a way of thinking about how we set up the support systems around us: shelter, food, water, energy, society and business. Well designed permaculture systems allow us to live as a beneficial part of the ecosystems around us.

A Forgotten Twentieth-Century Photographer’s Wild Portraits of Women in Nature
To capture her images of female nudes in natural landscapes, Anne Brigman sometimes set up camp for weeks or months at a time, eight thousand feet up in the Sierra Nevada. “Where I go is wild—hard to reach . . . because there [are] things in life to be expressed in these places,” she wrote to a Vanity Fair reporter, in 1916. Brigman would load her heavy camera equipment into stagecoaches that picked their way through the Sacramento Valley and up the American River
“Dawn,” 1909
Canyon, then finish her journey using pack mules to ascend to Donner Pass or into Desolation Valley. Her sister Elizabeth and a selection of friends often accompanied her, and together they would camp, hike, cavort, and pose for Brigman’s pictures.
“Heart of the Storm,” circa 1912
The work Brigman created on those sojourns made her a groundbreaking early-twentieth-century photographer. She was an artist who helped shape American modernist, feminist, and landscape photographic traditions—and was one of the first women to photograph herself in the nude. She showed her first photographs in San Francisco, in 1902, and a year later was anointed by Alfred Stieglitz, who awarded her membership in his Photo-Secession movement.
She published poetry and art criticism. Yet her work fell into obscurity after her death at the age of eighty-one in 1950.
“The Pool,” circa 1906
This spring, an exhibition of her photographs, organized by Ann M. Wolfe of the Nevada Museum of Art, was scheduled to travel to N.Y.U.’s Grey Art Gallery. It was cancelled, along with almost all of New York City’s cultural events. It’s difficult to measure exactly where the loss of a single art exhibition registers on this year’s unfurling ledgers of terror. Yet I confess to taking this one hard. Brigman’s spectacular, little-known work has already waited too long to be seen.t this to insert text.
“The Breeze,” 1909
The soft nude bodies in Brigman’s photographs twist and contort, pushed up against the trunk of the tangled juniper trees that are common in the harsh environment of the High Sierras; she captures knees sliding along rough granite, skin exposed to wind and cold.
