The Photo exhibit "endangered species"

In 1987 I began to photograph the Forest Industry in the Queen Charlotte Islands, documenting the devastating changes occurring there. After several trips I decided that I needed to broaden my understanding of the issues involved in the debate about Forestry practices so I began to photograph the Industry on Vancouver Island. This link will lead to an extensive exhibit of photographs from the resulting portfolio.

You can follow this link to see the graphic work of Lyle Richardson. If you are interested in seeing more of Lyle's work or purchasing prints of please feel free to email me directly, and please mention "Lyle's pix" in the Subject line.
