What I cover

Urban environmental issues. Sustainability. Environmental justice. And every dam story I can get my hands on.

Story from the field

Five minutes into a 45-minute aerial tour of the Elwha River watershed, I uh... lost my lunch all over myself, my camera gear and the airplane window. Without giving it a second thought, I wiped off the window and the viewfinder and kept shooting.

Dislikes

Leaf blowers.

# Likes

Rakes and brooms.
