      <image:caption>Bird banding, simply, is capturing a bird, taking certain data about that bird, attaching a light-weight metal band to their leg that has an individual id number linked to its individual data set. Then it is released in hopes it will be caught again somewhere else at a different point and place in the bird’s life.  This gives researchers crucial information about the life of birds, where they go to breed, feed, longevity, when they migrate and many other questions yet to be realized.  As our population grows and develops more wild places and the effects of climate change start to be understood it is invaluable base line data to help understand effects on birds and their habitats.  Birds are also a reliable indicator of how healthy the habitats are that they choose to live/breed in. The information gathered from banding not only gives an insight in to the bird’s welfare but the whole ecosystem they inhabit.   Volunteer carefully removes an Alder flycatcher, Empidonax alnorum, from a mist net.  The Alder flycatcher is the last migratory specie to show up in the interior of Alaska during the summer season.  The yearly data collected on when these migrators arrive is vital for predicting how climate change will change their future behavior.   © all images property of Tara Champion</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The study of Ornithology has historically been carried out through collecting specimens in order to study them closer.  Specimens are skinned and prepared in multiple ways in order to highlight different anatomical features.  Now with the modern techniques of DNA sampling and observation, specimen collecting has been demonized and is systematically underfunded.  This could lead to the potential lose of thousands of scientifically valuable specimens. The fact is that more wild birds are killed by the domestic cat and power lines yearly then by scientific collectors.  Specimens offer invaluable, irreplaceable information that DNA sampling and pure observation cannot.  Without raptor egg specimens from before the U.S. started using DDT, as a pesticide, scientists would never have been able to link DDT to the thinning of raptor eggs.  This vital information saved many bird of prey species from extinction least of which, our national bird, the Bald Eagle.   Ornithology collections are a national treasure that is in need of be cared for by a new generation of enthusiasts.  Without proper funding and management these collections will be lost forever due to bug infestation, and mishandling.  Lost with them will be an irreplaceable bank of knowledge.  The hope of this work is to showcase the beauty of these specimens and highlight their importance to scientific understanding.  It is such a rare thing to be able to examine a wild animal so intimately.  A bird in the hand is a truth waiting to be told.   © all images property of Tara Champion</image:caption>

The fact is that more wild birds are killed by the domestic cat and power lines yearly then by scientific collectors.  Specimens offer invaluable, irreplaceable information that DNA sampling and pure observation cannot.  Without raptor egg specimens from before the U.S. started using DDT, as a pesticide, scientists would never have been able to link DDT to the thinning of raptor eggs.  This vital information saved many bird of prey species from extinction least of which, our national bird, the Bald Eagle.   Ornithology collections are a national treasure that is in need of be cared for by a new generation of enthusiasts.  Without proper funding and management these collections will be lost forever due to bug infestation, and mishandling.  Lost with them will be an irreplaceable bank of knowledge.  The hope of this work is to showcase the beauty of these specimens and highlight their importance to scientific understanding.  It is such a rare thing to be able to examine a wild animal so intimately.  A bird in the hand is a truth waiting to be told.   © all images property of Tara Champion</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The young women of Cascade Middle School in Seattle WA have taken on the challenge of trying to understand why Hicklin Lake, a public lake next to their school, has become toxic.  They investigate the history of the lake, how naturally occurring algae can reach unsafe levels, and come up with solutions to clean up the lake.  They engage their community in conversation about the toxicity of the lake while working to help get the lake cleaned up.  Through this exploration the young women tackle questions about their individual roles, the communities role and how this question relates on a global scale in relation to water pollution and toxicity levels.    This film was created as part of the nationwide STARS program with help from the University of Washington and the National Science Foundation.    For more information on the STARS program please visit: www.ursciencestars.com</image:caption>

      <image:caption>unfixed silver gelatin lumen print, Seattle WA 2018 Lumen printing is an alternative camera-less photographic process that creates an image using a three-dimensional object + UV light (I use the sun) instead of the traditional negative + enlarger in a darkroom. Exposure times vary on the seasons and objects placed on the paper. The ephemeral colors depend of type of paper used with each print being unique.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Terraforming - Three Generations of Possibilities</image:title>
      <image:caption>Digital Pigment print created with found photo 2019 I know very little about my first year of life. I know my birthmother took me home, then I was in foster care, then back with my birthmother, I don’t know how many times this happened. Just before my first birthday, I was given up for adoption. It was 1984; all records were sealed to ‘protect’ those involved. Preverbal trauma—that which occurs in the early stages of a child’s development with no way to express or contextualize feelings—lives on in our implicit memory. I started this project as part of the 2019 RIFFS residency with the Photographic Center Northwest. I took the opportunity to work for the first time with archival imagery from my birthfamily, my adopted family, and found photographs I bought off eBay. The search for identity, from an adoptee stand point, is a life long struggle.</image:caption>
