6,248 x 3,946 pixels Canon EOS 5D mkiv Canon 24-105mm f/4 L IS II USM 1/80sec f/8 ISO 200 Location: Centennial Valley, Montana Photography by: David Lennard In 2018, I received the medical diagnosis of smoldering multiple myeloma - a terminal bone cancer. How long before I might succumb to the disease was unknown. At the age of 57, Purpose had been something that I’d searched for, but had eluded me for decades. I decided to go off grid to regroup, and a little research delivered a 7,000 acre ranch in the Centennial Valley, Montana. I’d dreamt of visiting Big Sky Country since marveling over a National Geographic article as a child. Montana would be the perfect place to get close to the land, come to terms with my illness, release the things that didn’t serve me well, and make inroads into finding Purpose. There would be no TV, internet, telephone, planes, helicopters, blowers or sirens. Just me, my trusty dog Rupert, a handful of ranch workers, and a bunch of cattle. The nearest grocery store was a 5 hour round trip, which took some planning. Other than that, there was no preparation or schedule. This collection of scenes follows my cancer journey as I connect with the land, and find the answers I had been looking for in how to move on with certainty into the unknown.
