In 2017 I had the great honor to photograph portraits of the late Bud Bottoms and Bob Sollen. Both of these Santa Barbara icons were involved in uncovering the 1969 oil spill which ultimately helped find the environmental movement and Earth Day in the US. The article these two portraits were taken for here in Santa Barbara can be accessed on Pacific Standards Website. It narrates the story of the ‘69 oil spill and the people involved in bringing it to the public.
