 Dirt Road: A Photo Story By Evan Finley & Clayton Lynch Dirt Road Brewing is a local brewery/pub located at 13th and main downtown Philomath, OR. Since 2019, Dirt Road has been serving the community fresh artisan pizza and a wide variety of in-house brewed beer. Despite spending the majority of its time open under COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, Dirt Road is thriving, expanding and has become a Philomath staple. Dirt Road opened its doors to the public in August of 2019, but founder Chuck Cox has been brewing beer for quite a while. It all started in his garage with a home brew kit. Overtime, the brewing system in Cox’s garage grew larger and more advanced as the positive feedback from friends and family grew. Cox says opening the pub was a part of the natural progression. Before Cox started Dirt Road he was a builder and contractor, as most of the operations of the brewery and pub have been taken over by his head brewer and staff, Cox continues to build houses on the side.  Dirt

Source: Linsey Addario Journalistic reporting of the ravages of war, desolation of famine and devastation of natural disasters has been widely available and commonplace for many decades. Such journalism is so familiar, that here on the relative safety of U.S. soil, it can be easy to take it for granted and to not recognize that for this reporting to take place, journalists must position themselves on the frontlines and in harm's way. This is especially true of photojournalism and is one of the most striking elements of conflict/war photographer Lynsey Addario 's memoir IT’S WHAT I DO. Addario has traveled and photographed the world extensively, very often on the front lines of conflict. Her images display the harsh realities of war and the impact on humanity. In her memoir, Addario shares many harrowing details of the events she recorded in her photographs and what she had to endure to capture them. Not all of her assignments required occupying the same space as flying bullets.
