Charleston-based photographer Drew Doggett鈥檚 recent project, Shadow鈥檚 Alight; Portraits of the American West, is the result of 14,000 miles traveled in a 23-foot airstream, visiting 21 national parks. Doggett has spent much his career photographing foreign places and people whose communities are in imminent danger due to development and a lack of conservation efforts. But he wanted to turn his lens toward his own country. In celebration of 100 years of our National Park Service, Doggett set out to capture some of America鈥檚 most classic scenes to see how they鈥檝e changed, how they鈥檝e stayed the same, and ultimately why they鈥檙e worth protecting. Here, Doggett shares a few favorites from his recent project.
