Über das Buch
The film negatives from these years sat in storage for more than 30 years, slightly scratched and water stained. Then in April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico killing eleven people. I watched the news reports and collected newspaper articles on the disaster. Like others, I was concerned for the wildlife and ecosystem of the Gulf, mired by millions of gallons of BP-owned crude. There were also the livelihoods of millions of men and women working service jobs like I did along the Gulf coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and Florida. My heart especially went out to the families of those who had died, who seemed lost amid the finger-pointing and urgency to get things back to normal. This book, made from a small collection of photographs was inspired by their loss. Even with that, the pictures bring back good thoughts of a unique time -- one that continues to resonate in unexpected ways.
