Opening Reception: Mary Peck: Apologia

“I’m not talking about sustained yield or renewable resources, I’m talking about wholesale mining of a priceless resource for a fast buck.“
— From Another Old Story, Tim McNulty

For many years I did a variety of commercial photography for architects, landscape architects and contract work for museum publications. Most of those jobs required 4 x 5 color film and when the job was complete I often found I had color film left in some of my holders when I returned to my other projects. To use that film I began photographing some of the abuses to the land I found on the Olympic Peninsula. The project has expanded and is ongoing. – Mary Peck
