There is a part of Oregon that no one will ever see with their own eyes. It is filled with wolves, foxes, bears and other creatures undisturbed by human activity. In fact, it is the very absence of humans that defines this unseen world.
Fortunately, there is a window into untamed Oregon provided by dedicated folks who take to the wilderness looking to capture images with remote cameras. There are two types of people who set up [camera traps": those looking to survey species, like the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and those looking to create intimate portraits of wild animals, like Jonny Armstrong, a fish ecology professor at Oregon State University.
