Lower Owens River, Owens Valley, California, 2007

Firstly, this is an excellent project, something I've been following in the news. Secondly, this is a great photograph. The textures of the mud are matched only by the movement provided by the tire tracks. Well done, Rich. doc

This is great. The tracks look like fingerpainting on an industrial scale. Very nice. I agree with Shawn, an truly admirable project.

Thank you both for your comments. This project is fulfilling my desire for my work to simultaniously address my pictoral, personal, ecological and social concernes.

The Owens Valley has always been a very special place for me, and I felt for so long that I needed to photograph there in an in-depth way.

I plan on making 6-8 trips a year for the next 5-10 years. This was just the begining.

Again, thank you.

Richard
