What a powerful few days it’s been. I’m exhausted, elated and very excited to see what’s in store for the White Salmon in the coming months. While I finally catch up on some sleep, enjoy this video clip that I put together for National Geographic that includes video and timelapse imagery.

We have more than a terabyte of images from Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Wow. Awesome footage and shots there! Certainly the best I have or will see I’m sure. I can’t wait to see what else you’ve shot, and to see some more timelapses the you’re gathering over the next month/year..

Great job! Catch up with you later.

Has anyone wondered what might be or now it’s would have been at the bottom of this lake? I know the reseviour I live next to now has some interesting things you find during drought years and the water is low.
Scoot, I did see some intact decking and stairs during the live feed. Probably built 100+ years ago before the dam went up. Let the archeology begin.
A very spectacular time lapse indeed! Well done. I am especially pleased to see your footage being displayed on some high traffic sites like CNN, MSNBC and Nat Geo. This only seres to broaden the viewpoint and importance of river restoration. I am looking forward to seeing more of your images of this historic event.
Hey Andy,
It’s Friday night and the Nat Geo vid is coming up as “not available.” Bummer! I’d really like to see it, as I was unable to watch the event live….

Interesting angle, showing the lake draining away, the water-saturated sediment collapsing, and the discharge from below the dam. Great job 🙂
National Geo. video is inop.
Please see the more recent post to watch the video clip. Thanks!
What an ugly mess. Congratulations!
