Wizard Falls Hatchery, Camp Sherman, Oregon, 2008

Built in 1947, this hatchery produces thousands of trout and salmon each year. Here, fresh water is poured into one of the twenty raceways at the hatchery. I tilted my frame to produce four strong diagonals that pull the image together and project great energy. The pipe, along with its powerful water flow, are the most important diagonals here, while the v-shaped diagonal edges of the raceway at the bottom of the frame add supporting context. The bulk of the image is made up of tiny bubbles that underscore the purpose of the fresh water, needed to provide healthy environment for the young fish.
