Photography
has been a lifelong passion for Brooks de Wetter-Smith. His grandfather immigrated to the United States from Estonia
with his family and his camera, making a living as an artist in a foreign culture. Brooks has kept the family tradition
alive, taking his camera across the globe on personal and professional expeditions. His photographic instincts have
led him to unexpected places -- from the peaks above Mt. Everest Base Camp to the Amazon rain forest; the Peruvian Andes to
the deserts of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt; to the American Southwest; from his family roots in Estonia to the desolate and virtually
uninhabitable domain of Antarctica.
