Photo by Join me this week during my Rising Stars Takeover! I am a documentary photographer who has been working on a long-term project about climate change in California called Water to Dust. I have been looking at how climate change is influencing people's relationships with water, changing landscapes around them, and how it affects them socially and economically. This project's mission is to bring together personal stories and scientific facts in order to better understand and connect with what is happening in California.

A horse rider comes to a stop as dust rises around him among the heat wave conditions. He is taking part in an event organized in the San Joaquin Valley which draws attention to water issues and conditions affecting people living in the area.

The drought of 2011-2016 was the worst in recently recorded history. This image was taken in August 2016 after I spent three months working with the Three Rocks and Cantua Creek, CA. Both places have seen their homes subside as groundwater has been depleted. As fields lay empty and farms cannot be watered, people have to travel further to find work.
