Sawdust Mountain - Eirik Johnson
Aperture/144 pgs
Very good condition
A culmination of four years photographing throughout Oregon, Washington and Northern California, "Sawdust Mountain" focuses on the tenuous relationship between industries reliant upon natural resources and the communities they support. Timber and salmon are the bedrock of a regional Northwest identity, but the environmental impact of these declining industries has been increasingly at odds with the contemporary ideal of sustainability. “In his moving group portrait of a community of loggers and fisherman in the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Johnson, a native son, documents the precariousness of life in this corner of America. At the same time, his photographs capture the defiance of those who have made certain choices--rural solitude instead of an urban economy--and are content (or not) with that bargain." -- Richard B. Woodward --Wall Street Journal.
