    Honorable Mention

When at University in 1971, I was assistant to the Curator of Exhibits at a Natural History Museum. The director asked two of us to visit one of the few public beaches on the coast of Louisiana and document the lack of trash clean-up. As we finished our task and were departing, this couple were the last to leave before the approaching storm reached the beach. I captured two images using Ektachrome, while my colleague shot in B&W. Both examples are now in museum collections.
