Stop in at the New York Times Lens blog to see a few pictures and read about Melanie Burford's experience of making pictures south of New Orleans, not of the tour-guided highlights of the oil spill but of life as it is unfolding for the fishermen of Delacroix.
I'm helping Mel with her coverage so got to see a much wider edit, which tugged at just about every heart string. She's a talented story teller and that Kiwi accent probably fits right in with Cajun.
Go Mel.
