Shaped By The Land: Stories of the rural American West, compiled from Bingham’s blog, Dusty Dog Cafe,  The stories feature a community of friends and neighbors who swap tales over an endless cup of coffee in the imaginary Dusty Dog Cafe. Bingham writes stories of everyday people in rural Eastern Oregon, many of whom go out of their way not to be famous or newsworthy.

For 25 years, Bingham has worked as a freelance writer, photographer and radio producer specializing in rural and agricultural issues. His credits extend from the National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian Institution and NPR to numerous regional and local publications, stations and websites.
