  • Feb 28th, 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Mardi Gras Day, Fat Tuesday, Bourbon Street. The quest for beads. Mostly drunk tourists scream for cheap plastic beads thrown from the balconies on Bourbon Street. Many of these people would not dream of acting like this where they come from, yet in New Orleans anything goes. Young women expose their breasts in the hopes of getting the best beads from guys above them on balconies.

  • Feb 26th, 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. The Krewe of Bacchus rolls during Mardi Gras. Crowds pack the route along Napoleon Avenue screaming for beads from the floats. Beads fly along with other items such as rubber chickens to the delight of the family packed crowds. Children are handed soft toys as they party continues in ernest in New Orleans.

A child discovers one of 6 dead stingrays and two dead catfish in just a half mile stretch of beach. Whether it's early indications of oil pollution, or catch tossed from a local fishing pier, it is truly tragic to find so many once fine, now dead fish in such a short stretch of beach. Either way, it shows a callous disregard for the environment in which we live. Meanwhile all around locals, tourists and visitors relax and enjoy the beauty of South Beach,  an hour from New Orleans. Just a few miles off the coast, an impending disaster looms. With the continual flood of oil washing into the Gulf of Mexico and as winds turn and begin to push from the south, it is only and matter of when, not if the oil reaches the beaches. The barrier islands offshore are taking a battering soaking up the initial fronts of oil threatening everything in it's ever encroaching path. <br />

Fishing guide William Bradford picks up sludge as he glides through a mix of oil and dispersant, 10 miles south of Venice Marina and approximately 34 miles from the site of the Deepwater Horizon's sunken oil platform. The sludge is a gelatinous mix with the consistency of diarrhea, sometimes clumped together in large masses so thick you can not see the ocean through it. The water, for miles and miles is filled with small pea shaped clumps, most the size of every kind of fish food available from small fish shape to shrimp to plankton. It is everywhere. The sheen on the surface is everywhere. It stretches for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles. Dead Jellyfish shrivel in the mix, the main seafood of turtles passing through at this time of year. What have we done?<br />

  • 12th October, 2013. Wisner Beach, Port Fourchon, Louisiana.<br />
The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, or LOOP pipeline runs underneath the beach, making it one of the most valuable stretches of land in the USA. Handling as much as 30% of the nation's oil needs and connecting to 50% of the nations petroleum refining capacity, the LOOP pipeline is one of the most strategically important sites in the USA. Constant erosion and an ongoing battle for compensation with oil giant BP following the Macondo Well Deepwater Horizon disaster, the Wisner Trust currently has the most expensive compensation claim against BP, with some estimates putting the claim as high as $1 Billion.
