What’s Killing Canada’s Pine Trees? | Recent Work for Bloomberg

My work, Nature, photojournalism, Published work, Still photography, Sustainability, Travel

Below: Selects from a photo essay shot on assignment for Bloomberg during a whirlwind trip through rural Alberta and British Columbia investigating the tiny mountain pine beetle. Its two decade spread across western Canada has hugely impacted the region’s timber industry, pushing Canadian forestry firms toward the U.S.

I took a few days recently with family to backpack in the Grand Valley area of Olympic National Park and continue my project photographing the Olympic Peninsula with an instant camera. Have a look below at some of the pictures. You can see the rest of the project here. Thanks for looking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Photos: Puget Soundkeeper Alliance on the Duwamish River

My work, Nature, photojournalism, Seattle, Still photography, Sustainability

I’ve been documenting the recovery of Seattle’s only river, the Duwamish, for years now and recently had a chance to ride along with a Puget Soundkeeper Alliance crew. The Duwamish is severely polluted and the Soundkeepers do a lot of great work including regular patrols of the Duwamish River. On these patrols the group observes, photographs, and reports anything potentially hazardous to the river’s health, while picking up trash and debris along the way. At any given time, the group usually has several pending lawsuits against polluters along the river.

Pacific Crest Trail Photos

My work, Nature, photojournalism, Still photography, Sustainability, Travel

I was lucky enough to recently spend nine days backpacking on about 120 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail’s Section K in Washington, which is between Stevens Pass and Rainy Pass. It was a memorable experience and made for some great photos. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and a successful, safe trip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Photos: Royal Basin, Olympic National Park

iPhone, My work, Nature, photojournalism, Still photography, Sustainability, Travel

I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days in the wilderness making photographs in the Royal Basin area of Olympic National Park. It was truly stunning and a reminder of what a beautiful state Washington is. Below, I’ve created a short gallery of digital iPhone images. Check back soon for a new post featuring scans of instant prints I made with a Fujifilm Instax 210 – prints that are part of my ongoing instant print series on the Olympic Peninsula. (Update: here is the link to the instant prints)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Video: The Burke Museum in Seattle

Multimedia, My work, Nature, Seattle, Sustainability, University of Washington, Video


 
Have a look at the latest of my video work – a short film produced for the Burke Museum in Seattle. The museum wanted something that represented the institution as a whole but was geared enough toward the curators that it would be appropriate to screen at the museum’s main yearly fundraising event, the Curators’ Dinner. This was really a fascinating piece to produce and I was lucky to be able to explore the museum and meet so many talented individuals.
