In the past, I have been able to photograph the glorious skies
and views of the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge from my deck. During
the recent spate of fires, beginning in August, I have been confined to my home,
and the photographs I make are taken from the same spot as the earlier series,
but as dense smoke renders the Golden Gate invisible, I have focused on my more
immediate surroundings. There were days when the smoke created day for night,
post-apocalyptic views right out of a sci-fi Hollywood movie. The most obvious
and undeniable culprit here is climate change, whose impacts are increasing at
an exponential rate. The future has arrived.
In an interview given in her last years, Dorothea Lange beckoned the next
generation of photographers to document civilization’s advancing effects on
California, framing it as the New California. She couldn’t have anticipated
climate change, but she was worried about the detrimental consequences of
settlement and growth. This series is dedicated to her remarkable foresight.
