Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Expand my understanding of the landscape’s recovery and capacity to capture it in photographs. Create series of black and white and color photographs of the Pagami Creek Fire zone employing guidance and insight from scientists. 2: Reveal and communicate ecology and science through visual means. Present photographic work to the community through exhibitions and talks accompanied by interpretive narratives with aesthetic and scientific viewpoints.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Understanding native plant communities emerging after the fire enabled the photographer to select vantage points and to focus upon specific groupings of ecologically significant plants. 2: The narrative arc of the landscape's recovery from the fire is clear - with the addition of numerous color images and Winter pictures from the third-year post-fire funded by the grant.
