Emergency open-heart surgery at age 47 forced photographer Cameron Gillie to make significant lifestyle changes. He started to combine exercise and photography, a practice that evolved into the biggest photographic project of his decades-long photography career: to hike and photograph the entire Ice Age Trail. Cameron carried everything he needed on his back - his food, shelter, and photography gear - as he undertook the challenge of hiking 1200 miles. He shares scenes and stories from the trail in his new book: Around Wisco: Hiking the Ice Age Trail.
Gillie will weave tales and images from the trail into the story of his recovery from a major life-changing medical condition. His hope is to inspire people to get out and discover and explore the beautiful state of Wisconsin for themselves.
