Current Position

Location: Klamath Falls, Oregon

Beat: Environmental photography, especially of a historic dam removal project

Position:

The area is the site of the largest dam removal project in U.S. history and this visual journalist will document the changing landscape and impact on the poor, mostly rural county of 68,000 people attempting to change from the area's logging and timber-based economic history. The "Klamath Project" covers multiple dams, the Klamath River, wildlife refuges and enormous environmental impacts. The area is also home to the Klamath Tribes, a growing political, economic and cultural power in the region.
