The not-so-ordinary oak tree that has captured the affections of Facebook fans, and that here literally supports the photographer's shadow, has also inspired a tree-planting campaign. At the party to celebrate the final photo, each attendee will receive an oak sapling to plant. In addition, the book's proceeds will fund reforestation efforts—a tree will be planted for every 100 books sold. But Hirsh's camera has already preserved at least one life. "That tree will be famous," he says. "It will never disappear."
