Geographic Coverage: Pacific and inland northwestern United States. Ongoing coverage of the Lewis & Clark Trail in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon & Washington with a special emphasis on the Bitterroot Mountains.

Future Travel: After three years of covering the Lewis & Clark Trail I will be spending much of 2004 preparing photo essays on the expedition. Photographically, in 2004 I am working on a personal documentary project covering wild forests in the Purcell Mountains of Northwest Montana, "a year in the life of a wild forest." This will be a natural history photographic and written diary detailing forest habitats, wildlife & plantlife in the context of changing seasons and weather patterns.
