2008: A year in photos

A Moffat County Sheriff's Office Wildland Fire Crew member stands atop a slash woodpile, defending the wood behind him by spraying down the blaze's edges. By late afternoon, firefighters attempted to isolate the fire by using bulldozers and heavy trucks to move woodpiles. - This photo was taken in April, after a wood grinder caught fire at Butler Ranch Wood Products, a mill operation northwest of Craig on County Road 106. The fire was immense in size, and the heat in the area was overwhelming. I shot this with a 500mm lens, which compresses the image and creates the wavy effect that I thought helped to convey the story.
