Southern Louisiana, once formed by sediment deposited by the Mississippi River, is now rapidly eroding. Over the past eighty years, Louisiana has lost 2,000 square miles of wetlands, accounting for ninety percent of the coastal marsh loss in the US. 


This work is part of my ongoing project documenting the rapidly shifting landscape of southern Louisiana. He has been flying above the bayous and wetlands of southern Louisiana in a powered paraglider for six years, photographing visual clues that tell the story of this place and its destruction.
