The project's title, Port Shadows, refers to the fact the port's activity dominates every facet of life in this small, low income, largely-Latino community.
I hope you enjoy Port Shadows. I have enjoyed photographing life in Wilmington . It is a community that has gone through tough times. Now its air, fouled by port-related trucks, trains, and refineries, is being cleaned up. Wilmington still is no environmental heaven. Its residents still experience high levels of cancer and asthma. But there are realistic grounds for hope that a new, green era is being born.
