Volunteer photographer Rick McEwan just finished an assignment for The Nature Conservancy, shooting wetland restoration work in the Conservancy’s Williamson River Delta Preserve in Oregon. It’s a place he just can’t bring himself to leave.

Sure: He gets cramped in the small hide while photographing birds, his boots get sucked up by mud on his way to capture the evening’s indigo night and the bugs gravitate towards his kayak as if it were made entirely of bright light and sugar. But he loves his work. And frankly, so do we.
