Water In The Oilfield
A collection of water-related images from the Oilfield I’m a natural resources photographer based in Colorado. I work mostly (not exclusively) in the oil and gas industry. It is in the oilfields of the world where I find an amazing combination of human ingenuity, hard working men and women, spectacular landscapes and a pioneering spirit — elements that make for great photography. Equal to my passion for oil & gas, I have always been attracted to photographing water and I am always watching for a way to capture water’s influence on landscape, people and industrial operations. I believe that water, apart from energy, is this earth’s most valuable resource. Without it, there can be no oil. I have a deep respect for the companies in the energy industry that are leading the way to preserving, conserving and using water in their operations.
