WHAT IS The VANISHING AMERICA PROJECT?
The Vanishing America Project is a mulit-year journey I’ve undertaken to use my skill as a photographer and a writer to promote conservation and raise awareness about what we are losing – our culture, our wildlife, and our landscape – in hopes that some of it will still be around for future generations to enjoy.

The First Ever CARBON-NEUTRAL EXPEDITION!
Coming this April...
Organized by leaders in the conservation-minded off-road community, a small group of dedicated expeditioners will be traveling from Park City, Utah to Amado, Arizona in time to attend Overland Expo 2010!
This amazing group will run the entire route of almost 1000 miles on established off-highway routes and will not consume a single drop of petroleum or produce an once of carbon for the atmosphere through a combination of alternative fuels and carbon credits.
Stay tuned...

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE VANISHING AMERICA PROJECT |
| |
|
Alicia Wszelaki of www.StudioRedDot.com -- photographer, documentarian, world traveler: "When I view your images I feel a mix of nostalgia, sadness and quiet. Your project is truly important."
Vicki -- Knoxville, Tennessee:"Your entire project is utterly fascinating. Lots of folks can take a pretty photo, but I think it takes a special eye to see and capture beauty in places where most people`s eyes fail to see it - i.e., the old, the decaying, the diminished... there`s a real beauty there and you seem to be able to capture it. Some of those images really tug at the soul."
Joanne -- Calgary, Alberta: "I didn`t even know places like this existed!"
Dave Smith -- Chattanooga, TN: "Nice site and what you are doing seems like it should have been done years ago! I am an outdoorsman and every time I see our forest getting gutted it`s like a knife being pushed in a little deeper. So kudos on your efforts to keep the public awareness on the front lines!"

The Vanishing America Project gives back to the communities through presentations and charity fundraisers. If you would like to help, please click on the link below to donate whatever you can to help keep this incredible project alive!
