Recently, I shot part of a story for Reuters regarding the world’s population hitting 7 billion. Calgary based photographer Todd Korol contacted me and told me he was producing a story on food supply that focused on Wheat from Canada’s prairies. He shot the harvesting, processing and transporting of the grain on his side of the Rockies, while I picked up the story when the wheat came through Vancouver to be transferred onto the cargo ships that would head around the world delivering the grain.
Here are some of my images from the story, as well as a link to the Boston Globe’s Big Picture that recently ran the story where you can see Todd’s photographs.
