Staying at friend's ranch near the Badlands at the end of the project, my writing returned, but in a different form than I'd ever written before — spare text pieces focusing on the same images that I'd been repeatedly photographing in the South Dakota landscape: deer, apples, prairies, wave patterns.

Accompanied by music from Casey Koyczan, who also does the Street-Fighter-II-esque voiceover work, the three levels depict Alberta's oil sands, then the prairies of Saskatchewan (where pipelines are currently being built), before finally reaching the Straits of Mackinac, the waterway that connects Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.

Not all sandpiper species hang out on the coasts — upland sandpipers and buff-breasted sandpipers prefer prairies, and other species stick to mudflats or ponds — but the sanderling method of feeding is fairly common: they probe the freshly wet sand for the many small animals that move closer to the surface when the water comes in.

Though its breakneck development culture and lax regulatory environment have been lauded for giving working people affordable housing — and thus a shot at the American dream — many experts and residents say that the developers' encroachment into the wetlands and prairies that used to serve Houston as natural sponges has inevitably exacerbated the misery that the city is suffering today.
