California Wildfires: Calm After the Burn

As a nature photographer passionate about conservation, it’s important to document the ugly with the beautiful, because without that balance, we risk becoming accustomed to a world shaped by destruction and not one of harmony. Nature will regenerate and fire is an important part of that process, but we must consider what role we play in that process, too.

Entering wildfire areas is dangerous. Use caution and check with local authorities for rules and regulations. Never interfere with an active fire effort.
