photojournalism, Published work, Seattle, Still photography

Fast food workers and union activists made a long march from SeaTac to Seattle, Washington in conjunction with demonstrators in hundreds of cities across the U.S. Thursday, December 5, 2013 in the latest coordinated action in the fight for a $15 hourly federal minimum wage. SeaTac recently enacted a $15 hourly minimum wage and Seattle looks likely to follow suit.

Recent Work for Bloomberg: Wanapum Dam

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

I recently shot an assignment for Bloomberg that took me to SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, a production facility in Moses Lake, Washington that creates carbon fiber for the new BMW i-series cars. Part of the reason that the facility ended up in rural Washington state, of all places, is the reliable access to affordable power provided by the Grant County PUD, which includes the Wanapum Dam and the Priest Rapids Dam. After I visited SGL Carbon Fibers, I was able to tour the Wanapum Dam for Bloomberg and make a few pictures, which you’ll see below. Thanks for looking.
