photography, &#8220;Lake Tahoe: A Fragile Beauty,&#8221;\u00a0 I had been visiting Lake Tahoe for decades and was familiar with its history and challenges.\u00a0\u00a0 Tahoe presents a rich story.\u00a0 As a microcosm of many of the environmental challenges confronting our time, Lake Tahoe speaks, on many levels, to our culture&#8217;s attitude toward the land.<\/p>\n<p>In recent decades, Tahoe&#8217;s immense popularity, along with the tremendous growth in northern California and western Nevada, has threatened the very vitality of the lake&#8217;s ecosystem.\u00a0 The greening of the Lake&#8217;s legendary clear waters has become a siren song to those romanced by Tahoe&#8217;s charms.\u00a0 Worldwide, communities and individuals, some as far away as Siberia, have come together to both understand and save this smothered jewel.\u00a0 In many respects, Tahoe is a case study in America&#8217;s challenge to manage consumption pressures while sustaining the environment.<\/p>\n<p>As a landscape photographer, the relevancy of this project was very appealing.\u00a0 The challenge became how best to tell the story.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Lake Tahoe A Fragile
