For About Amazon, I spent a few days in Anchorage, Alaska, documenting the shipment of disaster relief supplies donated to the Red Cross as part of relief efforts after Typhoon Halong displaced thousands of people from western Alaska villages. I was on the tarmac when the Prime Air flight arrived with pallets of donated goods, and then followed the goods as they moved along the supply chain until they were handed off to the Red Cross for further distribution.
