Meanwhile, Roddy's fine art prints, which are for sale directly via this website, have been featured in three solo exhibitions. "Mt. St. Helens: 25 Years Later" ran for two years at the Coldwater Ridge Visitor Center at the Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument before the facility closed last year. The exhibit featured photos he took of the recently re-awakened volcano in southwest Washington. Several of these shots and others appeared in the 2005 update of KC Publications' In Pictures book, Mount St. Helens: The Continuing Story.

As of June 2006, Roddy has been shooting with digital cameras, primarily the Nikon D200. He still uses film in his panoramic Horizon camera. While most of his new work is done using digital technology, he also manages a collection of more than 10,000 medium format and 35mm slide transparencies.
When he is not out in the field taking pictures, Roddy writes about environmental issues for E/The Environmental Magazine, where he serves as Contributing Editor.
