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.
