Ketchum uses publication as a form of environmentalism:
"lt was also Eliot Porter's Glen Canyon book where I saw the conjunction of politics and pictures.
The essay was bitter about the drowning of the canyon, and I could see how using a publication in an aggressive way could be
a VERY useful tool for environmental advocacy." - Robert Glenn Ketchum
