On Water

The Water Resources Center Archives is exhibiting new photos by Sally Mack from the Guadalcanal Village wetlands restoration site near Vallejo CA.  An opening reception will be held:  

Thursday, Sept 6 - 5:00-7:00 pm
Water Resources Center Archives library
410 O'Brien Hall (near the intersection of Euclid and Hearst Streets)

The photos in the exhibit were taken at a 53-acre wetlands mitigation  site owned by CalTrans, developed by a consortium of federal and state resource agencies, located on Mare Island (near Vallejo, CA) along the Napa River.  Within a few years it is slated to become part of the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge.  Until it is incorporated into the NWR system, however, Guadalcanal Village is not open to the public.  CalTrans and the NWR manager graciously permit Sally to photograph there.

The photos in the exhibit were taken with a Hasselblad  film camera and printed at a local lab.  The Hasselblad's signature square format (negatives measure 2-1/4 x 2/14")  give the photos a special look.  The larger negatives make more detail possible.
