Griffith Park, May 2007 Photos by Colin Remas Brown

On May 8, 2007 a major wildfire broke out in Griffith Park and, over the course of that afternoon and evening, spread rapidly. Before containment, the fire consumed over 800 acres of the 4,200-acre park. Just days after the fire, photographer Colin Remas Brown documented its effects. Where he expected to find only scorched trees and hills, he discovered instead an apocalyptic nightmare and the true victims of the blaze: the native wild life.

THE VALUE OF PHOTOGRAPHS

Next semester we are also trying to get funding and sort a trip to San Fransisco to attend the SPE West Conference in November
http://spewest.wordpress.com/conference/

We're always looking for ways to improve the club and help members. if you have any suggestions or ideas that you would like to see happen, please email me... you throw out an idea and we'll probably organize it.
