The World Wildlife Fund’s  exceptionally beautiful 2008 Annual report was just released. Scott Dickerson is honored to have his photography work in the Mekong Delta region (Vietnam) featured as the illustration for a four page essay: ‘The Mekong – the river and more.’ The photographs are the result of an 18 day assignment Scott completed with WWF in April 2008 traveling throughout southern Vietnam photographing important environmental issues facing the region. Subjects photographed included catfish and shrimp farming, industrial development, agriculture, furniture processing, cocoa plantations, forestry and national parks. A special thanks to WWF US’s Jill Hatzai, Rochelle Howard and others who made the assignment possible.

The annual report also includes a Scott Dickerson photo of a commercial fishing boat in Bristol Bay. Scott has worked with WWF in Alaska on several assignments over the last three years, mostly focusing on the Bristol Bay area.

The annual Alaska Federation of Natives Convention recently took place in Anchorage, Alaska. This event brings Alaskan natives from all over the state to Anchorage for a weekend. The non-profit Renewable Resources Coalition wanted to share a few messages with the attendees.

Kevin Co of Frontier Media Arts was tasked with developing the campaign just days before the event. The project in his own words :

“We decided that this would be a great time to use non-traditional media, so I called up the folks at Mobile Ad Alaska to see if we could rent out their truck. What we ended up with what can best be described as a mobile 10 sided billboard that could be moved around to target different flows of people throughout the event.”

Scott was honored by Kevin’s choice to work with his Bristol Bay photos on this project. Below is a short video by Kevin showing the finals steps of the project.

Bristol Bay fisherman have a lot to be proud of. This tri-fold brochure produced by the Renewable Resources Coalition used four of Scott’s  photos to help communicate to commercial fisherman that Bristol Bay’s wild salmon resources are being threatened by proposed mineral developments in the area. For several years Scott has been photographing the Bristol Bay region in an effort to give his viewers a glimpse into this remarkable environment. You can see several hundred of Scott’s Bristol Bay photographs in the online archive.
