  • Garbage barges transported some 20,000 tons of garbage out of New York City to Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island every day for several decades.

  • Garbage barges transported some 20,000 tons of garbage out of New York City to Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island every day for several decades.  For a story I proposed on trash to National Geographic, I decided to ride a garbage barge as it motored past Gotham. Getting the pile of trash with the city in the background would be a powerful juxtaposition.  Having finished the shoot and waiting to get out of the stinking barge to the dump, I began strolling down the rows of barges back to the pilot house when I noticed the plastic American flag banner just as we were drifting by the Statue of Liberty.   I quickly climbed onto the revolting refuse and snapped about 10 pictures before we sailed out of range. Inspecting the film, I later noticed that there were quite a few other objects in the trash with the banner, including the infamous, kitchen sink.  After this shot was taken, barges had to be covered with giant nets so trash wouldn’t blow into the rivers and bay.  Freshkills Landfull was declared full in 2001 and later reopened in 2002 to discard the Trade Towers.

  • The 48-meter luxury yacht Land's End suffered severe damage Tuesday August 9th, 2005 after running aground on the St. Joseph Rocks in the Bay of Sagone, Corsica. It was heading towards the beach at 10:30 a.m. under clear skies when it struck one of the many treacherous rocks dotting the popular west coast off the island.  None of the 25 passengers aboard were seriously injured yet there was concern about the 70,000 liters of diesel fuel leaking into the pristine waters.  Maritime authorities in Toulon issued a statement assuring pollution containment.  Caution is advised for boats of all sizes while traveling throughout the area.  According to Rod Heikell's Pilot, the respected nautical guide published by Imray, "Care is needed in the approach because of the off lying reefs around the bay.  By day this is straight forward, but it should not be attempted a night."  The boat, which had been carrying 12 Portuguese charter guests was aground on rocks of depths from 2 to 5 meters.  Fortunately waters remained calm until Wednesday but a mistral is heading for the area on Friday.
