Take a journey on the Colorado River with photographer Brian L. Frank and see the “dust bowl era” images of life along its banks. “Death of the Colorado” is a powerful statement and part of our “Full Frame” series in which GlobalPost highlights the work of outstanding photographers around the world. Brian is a major talent who has a lot of voice as a writer and as a photographer. He is a storyteller. And the images he brings to the site raise important questions about how the profligate waste of water on the American side of the river is devastating the communities that rely on its bounty across the border in Mexico.
See below for Brian’s audio slideshow, featuring the photographer’s own narration of the project.
