[1]On May 8th, 2007, a blaze tore through Griffith Park, decimating acres of wildlife, leaving behind an ashen sheet covering hillsides, and the occasional skeletal husks of trees and animals.
Photographer Colin Brown was one of the few residents who was able to see the immediate effects of the fire and posted the shots on Flickr [2]. The resulting photos are apocalyptic and eerie, revealing both literally and figuratively what lays below the skin of Griffith Park.
The Drkrm. Gallery will be exhibiting these photos from May 3rd to the 18th to commemorate the one year anniversary of the Griffith Park Fire, with an opening night reception on May 3rd from 7pm-10pm.
