Abstract:
Research into the Northern Gateway Pipeline and impacts on local communities along the way of the proposed project. Introduction piece: It was toward the end of 2011 when I first heard about the Northern Gateway Pipeline. I realized this project could be a major environmental issue, where the economic value of international trade would run headlong into the intrinsic value of ecosystems and the personal values of individuals. Indeed, the ideological tensions of economic development and environmental preservation have become a major theme in the public narrative concerning Northern Gateway. I wanted to know about the people and places along the proposed route. What did they think about the project? If I asked them the value of the places where they lived, what would they say? What could I learn from the stories they told about the places they called home? This is how my journey began.

Andrew T. Barton - My background is a combination of artist, adventurer, and technician. I have been using a camera to record journeys and events since my first camping trip as a small boy, and have worked as portrait, wedding, and sports photographer. My images have been used in advertising material, as editorial content, and hang as fine art. I am also a lover of music and jam with a close circle of friends whenever I can. Canada is my home now and when I first arrived here in my twenties, I quickly fell in love with the mountains and rivers of British Columbia. Since then I have guided raft trips in four countries, and climbed and hiked over countless mountain ranges. My first formal training was in electronics and, prior to committing to a vocation as a research and documentary photographer, I had a long career in information technology and providing internet services.
