Almost two years ago on December 30th 2021, a destructive wildfire swept through the town of Louisville, Superior and parts of unincorporated Boulder County. Many of our friends lost pets and their homes. Two people lost their lives.
Below are some photos I took documenting the recovery process for the City of Louisville. Other photos are included from a short documentary.
A little context.. I’ve lived in Louisville with my family for over 10 years and love it! I reached out to the City and asked if they would be interested in a travel show, instead they hired me to document the recovery and rebuilding of our town. Here’s more from this experience. It’s been really amazing meeting so many great people who work for the City of Louisville.
Unrelated to the City of Louisville work, I’ve been working on a short documentary filming a friend who lost some of her pets and her home. We’ll release more info about it someday soon.
A gigantic thank you to every first responder and person who has helped! With hurricane force winds, the fire grew out of control super quickly. In a few short hours the fire travelled 6 miles. It could have been a lot worse and I’m so thankful for how quickly and thoughtfully people reacted helping each other evacuate.
