Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Notes: The seeds off a
weed growing on a oil-well drilling site. While working as a
investigator for the government I took this photograph along with a series of
others in a combination State, and Federal lawsuit against a drilling company
for pollution of the water shed from their oil pump's well heads. I have
nothing against oil companies, and understood their operation procedures, but
I had a job to do, and I did it. I wanted to give a fair and balanced
account of the sites so I took photographs of insects, birds, and animals that
surrounded the sites in perfect harmony. The photographs I took
were the deciding link in the legal proceeding against the oil company; they
had to clean up their well heads.
