Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah

 

Last week conservation photographer Garth Lenz visited campus as a special guest through The Crossroads Project.  In an act of spontaneity, I accepted an invitation to fly with Garth to make photographs of the Bingham Canyon Mine.  Jim Grady, our pilot, was with LightHawk, a volunteer pilot organization who’s mission is to champion environmental protection through the unique perspective of flight.  What an amazing ride!  Even while being thrown around in the mountainside turbulence, I managed to eek out some images that led to a new chapter of the Evidence and Artifacts collection, Evidence and Artifacts: Avarice.
