Sap in Their Veins: Author David Bayles to Speak at Westwood Museum
On September 20th, the Westwood Museum will be hosting a special presentation by author and photographer David Bayles who will be featuring his book called Sap in Their Veins, Portraits of Loggers and the Trees They Fell.
The special free event, which begins at 7:00p.m., will give Bayles a chance to tell some of the stories from his book as he talks of his experience working in the woods of Mendocino County.
“In the early seventies I decided to become a photographer,” Bayles recounts in his book.

“The school I wanted to attend was very expensive so I looked for legal ways to make a lot of money in a short period of time. My sister’s boyfriend invited me to leave Los Angeles and come to the mountains and work in the woods. One season turned into four years of setting chokers, bumping knots and skinning cat.”
At the end of four years it was time to head off to photography school, tuition earned and in hand.
“On my last day working in the woods, my rigging crew and I shared beers and farewells at the local bar. Jack Hannah, our siderod, said, “You moved here from the city and became the best damn choker setter. When you’re done with that photo school, don’t forget us dirty old loggers.””
“Ten years later at the height of the Pacific Northwest battle between the logging industry and the environmental movement, I worked with the Mendocino County Museum to create a portrait exhibit of loggers. Along with the portraits were excerpts from the oral histories I recorded. The exhibit traveled to four museums. The last was the World Forestry Center in Portland, Oregon.”
There will be a book signing after the presentation and light refreshments will be served.
