The Kettle River — Black and Blue
Project Statement:
The Kettle River was placed at the top of the Outdoor Recreation Council’s BC Endangered Rivers List in 2011. Wanting to know more, I spent some time immersing myself into the watershed. I explored the headwaters and followed its journey to the border. I also wanted to explore seasonal differences – I was looking for the character, the traits of the Kettle River and its water. A diverse system from top to bottom, its’ flows are strongly dependant on snow-melt driven runoff. Wet in the headwaters to desert-like by the Canadian-American border, the river faces classic human-induced challenges. Large scale extractions by agriculture and resort development are in conflict with the ecological balance of the downstream system. So, should development have the right of way?
Edits and selects
It is all coming together. Shooting to rough edits to selects to final finished pieces. It can be heart-wrenching bringing the work into smaller and smaller pieces. I guess I can leave this post saying “More to come…..”
