Spirit of the Gulf Coast

We arrived back in Atlanta Monday night at 11pm exhausted, but inspired.  It has been a process of reflecting for us, and I think we are each processing what we have just experienced in our own way.  There is a ton of content to sort through and post, and over the next couple of weeks, we will be posting stories that we have uncovered along the way, including more in-depth stories from our time with those who we have mentioned already.

In the meantime, here is a quick pictorial of our journey.  Check our Flickr page for more stunning images, with many more to come.

We filled the tank with B100 Biodiesel at SA White Oil in Marietta, Ga. on the way out.  Special thanks to Travis for the fill-up!

After a full day of driving, we were crossing the bridge over Lake Pontchartrain in the late afternoon

We stopped to take several pictures down in the delta on the way to Grand Isle, La.

I was glad to be at camp after a long day of travel

I didn’t know Terrell had it in him

Saturday morning, the sunrise over Grand Isle was incredibly beautiful

Terrell captures some incredible images on the Gulf Stream Marina

After our offshore tour, we ran into Alexandra Cousteau’s Expedition Blue Planet team on the Marina – awesome people!

That night, we met some local fishermen on the bridge, including this very energetic boy with his bucket of crabs

On Sunday afternoon we headed to Pearlington, MS where we talked with some local Katrina survivors

Our final stop took us to Alabama near Dauphin Island – we stopped to see who was behind this provocative imagery

We found the creator, Lori and had a deep discussion with her on her experience.

We have a ton of content to prepare and upload.  Stay tuned for the video interviews of the people we connected with, and the additional imagery yet to be posted.  If you are not already following us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr, check us out on those channels too, and you can also subscribe to the blog posts via email on the top right of the page.  Thank you to everyone who is following our journey!
