My proposal is to conduct an Aerial topographic survey of the Long Valley Caldera basin. Focusing on the complex mosaic of landscapes contained within the Mammoth region, I intend to make photographs that observe relationships between the geologic activity, human-made impacts, and the rapid urbanization of the area. Images will be created using a 4"x5? film camera to capture extensive details of the land. An aircraft will be used to provide a platform from which to compile the set of oblique views. Seen in this way SNARL and Valentine Camp reserves can be viewed as part of the greater macrocosm of the region. The intention of the project is to articulate a systematic visual study that can describe the interplay between human development, land preservation, and geologic history.
