Photographer Robbie McClaran has examined the Columbia River in a photographic collection called “The Great River of the West.” McClaran used an antique, large format camera to capture his images. He joins us to talk about his work and navigating the river through photography. His work will be on display in Astoria at the LightBox Photographic Gallery through May 11.
