DRP desert photo published on AP, MSNBC; Poem

Sand Mountain, Nevada. Daniel R. Patterson

NEW YORK -- I'm proud to say one of my photos of Sand Mountain, Nevada is being used this week in the major media on an environmental story.

I also recently had photos in the Los Angeles Times of the Death Valley region.

As a planner and ecologist, I take and use photos in my work. It's nice to have them being published so others may also see.

Some of you may have seen the personal poem to my wife taken off my blog and ran by the Weekly. Not sure why it was run as it has nothing to do with city politics? But it shows how hard it is to have any personal space and privacy even when just considering politics.
