“We’ve flown over most of the California coastline before and have seen the beauty of the natural coastline and destruction that man has wrought unto it… and from time-to-time over the years we have volunteered our time and resources to help protect the coast. We’ve been called to photograph ‘after’ pictures of illegal activity that has destroyed the coast, but rarely do we have the ‘before’ pictures. More than once we wished we’d used the opportunity to photograph a ‘before’ picture. This started us thinking — what if we photographed the entire coast as a baseline of ‘before’ pictures?”
