Chainsaw carver Tim Klock with his life size chess set, photographed last summer on his carving grounds in Altoona, PA. The photo team of Kate Barden and Bruce Cramer turned what they thought would be a single character study into a year-long look at chainsaw carvers, an exotic and rapidly growing subculture of outsider artists.

This is a very common cottage idustry/artist community in the pacific Northwest.
