EASTERN CALIFORNIA MUSEUM• Tiyo Miyatake was interned at
Manzanar concentration camp.even though cameras werent alllowed he found a way to sneak one in and take pictures. I reallly apprectiated what he had done at manzanar, and to capture the moments of what was going on was epic. I am a fan of his photography skills,lighting and for what he had to go through either emotionally because of the situation he was in, he still found a way to use his talents in photography to document an historic portion in Japanese/ American history.
IN TRANSIT OPTIONAL
IN TRANSIT-CUCAMONGA ALLUVIAL FAN
Bunna RoeumMany of years of rain, fire, flood and erosion shaped the San Bernardino Valley by building vast alluvial fans from material swept down from the mountains. These fans matter today because much of Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, San Bernardino and Highland were built on them.. Gravity and moving water sweep debris through canyons, dropping heavier matter first and carrying sand and silt farther, where it spreads outward in the shape of a fan.
