Join Seattle native Eirik Johnson as he discusses his upcoming monograph, Sawdust Mountain (Aperture, June 2009), at his exhibition opening and in a series of talks on the west coast. The culmination of four years photographing throughout Oregon, Washington, and Northern California, Sawdust Mountain showcases the strained relationship between industries that rely on natural resources and the communities that are impacted.
