As I started writing, the tail end of 2020 and the majority of 2021, it was one of the most challenging and difficult things I've ever done. This opportunity doesn't come around often and I recognize that kind of position and realizing maybe this could be a really beautiful process for me to kind of peel back the curtain to get back those layers and to see what comes of it. JOE GREER: Honestly, I was not planning to write this book. I'd love to hear a little bit, you know, what was it like selecting the work and developing the essays? The following interview has been condensed and lightly edited for clarity. My nephew, Buster, hopping a fence in Florida on Thanksgiving Day, 2018. Greer spoke to NPR about his journey of faith, family and love. He shares a deeply personal look into his life and how his experiences represent a story of healing and resilience. Greer recently released his visual memoir, Lay of the Land, which tells stories of his past that are complex but meaningful to who he has become. His life manifests in his work whether it be commercial or personal. Today, he continues to use his photography to capture the world as he experiences it. He started out in 2010 completely enthralled by the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest taking photographs on his iPhone and uploading them to Instagram. Whether it be a beautiful landscape in Nashville, a street scene in the midst of busy Manhattan or a portrait of his wife, Madison, making photographs is deeply intertwined into photographer Joe Greer's life and being. My nephew, Buster, and niece, Maggie, stand in line for a ride at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the day after Thanksgiving, 2021.
