Oakland Firestorm Revisited. 24 years.

Hiller burning. Oakland Firestorm. 1991.

This year marks the 24th anniversary of the Oakland Hills Firestorm. Over 3,000 homes were destroyed, including my childhood home and the entire neighborhood in which I grew up. I spent two years photographing the aftermath. A portfolio of that work, including several essays I’ve written about the event, can be found here.
