Cayo Costa Lagoon Off of Florida’s Gulf Coast

A big concern in Miami at this point is not whether the oil from the BP spill off the gulf coast will reach our waters, but when.

This photograph was taken on Cayo Costa off the west coast of Florida. It was chosen as the photo of the week to symbolize the ripple that this oil spill will cause in our history.

I am not a political photographer or a journalist. This image is simply a representation of the relationship I have with the natural world and an expression of my sorrow that eco systems from the carribean to Mississippi are being affected in a bad way.
