Getting in the right spot
I pretty much knew this was the photograph I wanted to get when I read a press release about the oil spill drill on the Columbia River. Dumping apples into the river to represent oil would be unusual and newsworthy.
With the help of several Chelan County PUD employees, reporter Christine Pratt and I were able to ride in a PUD boat to the scene of the dumping, then follow Casey and Dave Rogers as they went along the Douglas County shoreline in their small boat loaded with apples.
