Today I woke up to a box on my porch with a dozen magazines inside, my first printed look at the story after much back and fourth on layout and the brutal process of culling down over 65,000 photos. Having gone through this a number of times I can honestly say that its always an indescribable and exciting moment to see it all come together. The story is available on newsstands in the coming days, I hope you get a chance to pick one up and read it, words by the ultra-talented @timfolger This story is one I’m extremely proud of, one I worked passionately on for 18 months and something I hope generates awareness to the many issues the Great lakes of north America are facing. These lakes make up 20% of the worlds natural water, 6 quadrillion gallons which to put it into slightly more tangible context is 1,000 x Billion gallons and looks like this: 1,000,000,000,000,000 - in short, it’s a lot. These waters make up one of the greatest economical trade routes on the planet, provide water to some 50 million people and are facing a myriad of issues ranging from pollution, invasive species, climate change, wide spread algae blooms and a host of others all addressed in the story. It’s not all doom and gloom, there’s hope here in recovery and wide spread efforts continually being made to this national treasure, I hope you read it. I want to extend a warm and heart felt thank you to @susanbgoldberg and @natgeo for putting their faith in me to cover this, to my dear friend and editor @sadiequarrier for her well of advice, guidance, help, encouragement and light hearted humor that she has brought to me on every story we’ve worked on together, love you Sadie! I’ll be posting more about this in the coming weeks for sure, in the meantime, I hope you enjoy. Be well! Lastly, additional big thank you to @angelajpayne @ianvaso @camera_jesus @moheim @urbancamperphoto @bkachinsky Lisa Borre, Patrick Doran, Rob Kunzig and so many others who helped me along the way!」11月9日 9時48分
