The temperatures are climbing back towards normal, and that means winter is melting. All that snow that caused so many problems last week, is giving a different kind of show.

From the book, Hope in the Face of Challenge. Henry Hall inadvertently became the poster child for the project. This photo was taken in 2003. Henry was 56. He worked in an asphalt factory and had too many health disorders to list, but Black Lung Disease was the main culprit. Without insurance, his wife supported the family with part-time jobs while trying to put their daughter through college. The Southeast Kentucky Community Access Program (SKYCAP) helped Henry navigate through the myriad of bureaucratic agencies to get access to health care.

From the book Hope in the Face of Challenge. The old train station was remodeled and housed the Clarion Chamber of Commerce. The water tower stands like a sentinel over the town.

A few years ago, Tom Rowley and I produced a book for the National Rural Health Association. Published in 2004, the book, Hope in the Face of Challenge, Innovations in Rural Health Care, was an eight-month adventure. We traveled to ten locations to talk with people and organizations about how they created unique solutions to health care issues magnified by the lack of resources in rural areas. Tom wrote the stories. I photographed.
Iowa silos was captured in Clarion, Iowa, while we were visiting the Wright Medical Center, and its unique free clinic and domestic/sex assault outreach center.

Yesterday was a momentous and historical day–the inauguration of Barak Obama as the 44th president of the United States. I spent the day documenting it–just one perspective of all the activities taking place across the nation and around the world.

Rocky inlets line the coast of Washington state. You peer out the opening towards the Pacific Ocan and dream of sailboats finding safe harbor in a storm, or pirates burying treasure.

The Pacific Northwest is a rain forest, and a haven for all things covered in moss. Even in decay, fallen trees continue to host the art of nature.

The Pacific Northwest is an intriguing and beautiful geographic area. The area is full of artful images, like this moss-covered tree rising next to a trail at Fort Clatsop, the wintering site of Lewis & Clark, 2005.
