This is an image of a skull and cross bones and a clam both made with Pacific northwest coast native design elements in them. I made this image to represent the pollution that has happened to my tribe’s beaches which has made the clams and other shellfish unsafe for human consumption with out following procedures to clean the clams. The pollution is fecal coliform caused by human waste from sewage that has contaminated the beaches. The contamination is caused from all the uncared for septic tanks which people use around the beaches and when it rains the water flowing to the ocean carries the waste to the beaches. There are ways of cleaning the clams by bringing them to a place where they flush out the dirty water. Also bacteria in fecal coliform can be killed with proper cooking but the problem with shellfish is that many people steam it which does not kill the bacteria like boiling does. For me personally even if I do kill the bacteria there is the thought that I am eating someone’s shit molecules, which really disgusts me. Canada’s lack of environmental laws has failed my tribe once again and these beaches could have supported a sustainable natural resource that could feed my tribe as well as provide a commercial aspect with selling them. We have a treaty that states we can always carry on fisheries as formally, but the pollution prevents us from carrying on fisheries as formally because we can no longer just go to the beach and gather one of most important traditional foods without the chance of getting sick from eating it. The attitude that our society has towards the environment needs to change before we lose everything.
location: Huntington Beach, CA we later boiled this clam at our bonfire and made David eat it… apparently it was pretty good… we also caught a few hermit crabs too…and according to David, we didn’t cook the crabs long enough, so they tasted like crap…

Thankyou for your feature vote in the Abstract from Nature Group Interlocking horned clam shell.. I like how it can be a path.. interlocking mechanism.. an adventurous ride of an hourglass… trying to get these to appear on the same focal layer can be difficult.
Giant Blue Clams from Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indian Ocean Territories, Australia. The wonderful, luminous colours of the clams make them shine underneath the water. When snorkelling of diving in Cocos they are a wonder to see. The clams pictured above are reared beachside in a large salt water nursery. Visitors to the islands can visit the clam farm and learn more about these amazing creatures. This has been my most successful print to date. It won the Wildlife Category of the Expose Your World Photography Awards 2008 (national) and the Open Colour Section of the York Society Photography Awards 2008 (state), as well as a Highly Commended in the Melville Art Awards 2008 (state) and a Highly Commended in the ANZANG Nature Photography Awards 2008, Underwater category (national) and a Highly Commended in the Jan/Feb Fujifilm Showcase Photography Competition. It has also been published in “Camera Magazine” (Jan/Feb issue) . To take it I leant over the water to drop my shadow over the glare on the surface. Of course, the clams saw me do this and thought i was a predator, so they closed. I stood at an almost 90% angle for several minutes until they opened up again. I managed to take 3 frames before they sensed my movement and closed. Canon 5D, ISO 400, f8, AV MODE, 24-105MM L Series Canon Lens / Handheld, no flash, Auto White Balance. As is from camera. Featured in Image Writing Group, Woman Photographer Group, Shameless Self Promotion Group, A Photographers Craft Group. And Featured Features Group. Placed 6th in The Blue Challenge, for All That is Nature Group, Oct 2009.

On Cape Cod in the town of Barnstable a small inlet moors many boats. When the tide is out, the boats sit on the sand and the clam and scallop fisherman come and try their hand at getting dinner. Taken with a Canon XTI / f/8 / 1/4000 / ISO- 1600 / focal length- 24mm

This clam is the size of a bath tub. The iridescent blue designs are as they appear in nature. No tweeking at all. The colour is provided by an algae that lives within the flesh of the clam in an interesting symbiosis. Contrary to popular belief, they can’t actually close completely and so can not catch the foot of the careless diver. Otherwise, I would have lost my camera…
