This week, our guest is Richard Misrach — one of the most influential voices in contemporary photography. His work appears in major museum collections around the world, and his innovative approach to large-scale color photography has influenced generations of artists.

Since the 1970s, his work has merged aesthetics and activism, often depicting human impact on the environment. In series like Desert Cantos, Petrochemical America, and most recently, Cargo, rich colors and tranquil landscapes belie the ecological disasters that exist below the surface.

On November 11, 2025, Misrach came to the KQED studios to talk to Steven Winn about his newest project – photographs of cargo ships into and from the Port of Oakland taken from 2021-2025, on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic. The work is collected in a new book, Cargo, featuring an introduction by his longtime friend and frequent collaborator Rebecca Solnit.
