Welcome

This is the website of artist and filmmaker Brad Yazzolino. I am a "land use" artist, documenting changes in our landscape. Here you will see some of my Columbia River and Portland area photography and artwork. Please check the DVD area for my films that are available for home and classroom use.

My newest film on DVD:

This Park Was Once a Village

Nine thousand years of history come together in a small park
near Portland, Oregon. Lewis and Clark wrote of a huge cedar house that they visited there. Native Americans today still remember it as Nichiqwli (Nee-chalk-lee) or "Stand of Pines", in the Chinook language.
New monuments and a Lewis and Clark reenactors' visit 200 years later, mark this important place near the Columbia River to help us all understand and remember.
"This Park Was Once a Village" is suitable for ages 8 - up.
