Cancer Alley – Louisiana and New York is a sad and tragic reflection on our desire for financial comfort and success at the expense of personal and environmental well-being. The photographs consider the relationship between the industrial landscape of Louisiana, where beauty and devastation collide along the Mississippi River and chain-smoking businessmen on Wall Street, where one would expect the rewards of success to reflect the good life.
