He is co-founder of Spaces Corners, a project space dedicated to photobooks and core faculty at Ithaca College’s Image Text Ithaca MFA program.Īlso available as a special edition featuring original, signed and numbered 6"x8.75" archival pigment photograph in a custom box. In the Vicinity is his sixth published photobook. His work has been published and exhibited internationally, most recently included in the exhibition The Grain of the Present at Pier 24 Photography in San Francisco. The quiet clarity of Panar’s photographs - landscape, still life, details and the occasional nonhuman observer - provide an open ended invitation to consider not only an area within and along the edges of this industry, but also the gray areas of photographic representation and its ability to provide “documentary” insight into something as elusive and enigmatic as the allure of this mythical plant and the emerging modern cannabis economy.Įd Panar is a Pittsburgh based photographer.
Just beneath our noses - sometimes quite literally, like catching a hint of the distinctive sweet skunky fragrance in the wind - we find traces of the timeless pursuit of seeking the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, even as the slow and uneven path away from prohibition enters a new phase of uncertainty, especially for small producers and farmers.
We have the feeling of being inside a cloistered farming community, though we are kept at a respectful distance. Struck by the natural beauty of the sparsely populated, rugged terrain against the psychedelic blending of the seasons, Panar set out to describe the outwardly idyllic terroir of endless sun-soaked ridges rolling beneath snow capped mountains that provide the dramatic backdrop and ideal conditions for outdoor growing of the cannabis plant.
The photographs in In The Vicinity were made between 20, during the sunset chapter of a distinctly Wild West era of this thriving industry. The plant itself - the primary star of the scene - remains elusive in this Edenic rural atmosphere, where some of the most productive outdoor cultivation of this multi-billion dollar cash crop is occurring just out of sight. We find ourselves in the midst of a secretive world where clandestine operations take place behind rambling fence lines, locked gates, and dusty dirt roads in an ever shifting gray area of legalization, self-sufficiency and raw capitalistic impulses. Hidden under the cover of densely forested mountain sides, foothills and valleys, the cannabis plant is leading the way and being tended to: cultivated and revered for its potent economic, psychotropic, and mythological values. Gas contents in the Clarion, Upper Brookville, and Mercer coalbeds were anomalously low owing to the proximity of porous sandstones which act as reservoirs for gas migrating from coalbeds.In In The Vicinity, Ed Panar navigates a remote corner of Mendocino County, an area located within the Emerald Triangle, also known as the heart of California’s cannabis culture. Based on previous reports and our own findings, the sulfonium centers are stable in the presence of thiols for a reasonable time, indicating their potential cellular application. The middle Kittanning coalbed was hydraulically stimulated using very heavy gelled water, but gas production remained low because gel residue and formation water inhibited the flow of gas. The labile sulfonium center may further undergo proximity promoted Cys substitution with the available Cys in the vicinity of the POIs binding pocket. Formation pressure and gas flow tests were conducted on selected coalbed intervals in borehole 1 formation pressures ranged from 292 to 473 psig. Gas content determinations and coal analyses were made on the Upper Freeport, Middle Kittanning, Clarion, Brookville, and Mercer coalbeds gas content of the coalbeds ranged from 53 to 165 cubic feet per ton. The holes provided detailed geologic information and geologic sections, which were correlated with regional stratigraphic cross sections prepared by the Pennsylvania geological survey. Two degasification test boreholes were drilled to depths of 1,238 and 1,212 feet on Bureau of Mines property at Bruceton, Pennsylvania, as part of the Bureau of Mines long-range coal degasification program.
