'If Exxon Valdez was a heart attack, Deepwater is a cancer'. See more of Daniel Beltrá's Photography on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill here
As many of you know, I helped to found the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP). Among our more than 70 Fellows, Daniel Beltra is a good friend who has been doing AWESOME work in the Amazon and for which he was given the 2009 Prince's Rainforest Award.
He has been in the Gulf since the blowout and these two links will introduce you to his work if you do not know it already. What he is witnessing and saying is probably closer to the truth than much of what we are getting from the media, and all of what we are getting from BP.
Amazing, disgusting work. I wish these pictures would never have had to been made, but since BP has visited this upon us, THANK YOU Daniel and my other iLCP Fellows who are down there working and trying to provide the American public with visuals to drive their response.
Given my age, I have come from a generation that was not apathetic, and indeed was VERY proactive with regards to social and environmental justice. There does not seem to be too much of that these days. Most just want to do X and party while this unfolds. I hope the current generations of our children wake up soon, and react with FORCE about these corporate criminals or they will find themselves in a world that looks like the Gulf Coast... EVERYWHERE, and not just because of an oilspill.
Eldrige Cleaver said many years ago, "If you are not doing something about the problem, then you are part of it." Come on you guys, WAKE UP AND PARTICIPATE!!! Fight back before you end up like one of those oil-drenched seabirds.
