Beauty and the Beast

I have been working with Caroline and Southwings, with the generous help of pilots Tom Hutchings and Lance Rydberg, to create aerials of the Gulf Coast for National Audubon Society.  The goal has been to document the post-BP Deepwater Horizon disaster impact and more broadly Gulf coastal erosion.  It’s easy to focus on the damage, the insidious harm we seem so determine to unleash on the Earth, but it’s also critical to juxtapose that against the spectacular beauty that is this planet.  And sometimes there is no more perfect place to embrace that beauty than from above.

I post these images as a huge “thank you” to Caroline and Tom and Lance for the opportunity they have given me to see the rare and grand beauty that is the American Gulf Coast.
