Industrial landscape: Industrial Forestry: San Juan Valley, Vancouver island, B.C., Canada

Extensive cearcutting in the San Juan Valley on southern Vancouver Island near Victoria. This image is from my first assignment. The Globe and mail contacted the B.C. chapter of the Sierra Club when they wanted a photographer to accompany their writer on a flight over Vancouver Island. The Sierra Club recommended me and I shot my first assignment and my first aerials.This image was used extensively with the title "Brazil Of The North" to bring international attention to B.C. logging practices. In the middle foreground, a once productive salmon stream can be seen.
