C.C. Lockwood's Atchafalaya Now Available
11/8/07
At nearly 1.4 million acres, the Atchafalaya Basin in south central Louisiana comprises America's largest swamp wilderness, five times more productive than the Florida Everglades. Award-winning nature photographer C. C. Lockwood is the foremost chronicler of this natural treasure. What began as a commercial photography assignment in 1973 became a decades-long love affair, and for more than thirty years, Lockwood has explored the Atchafalaya's waters and captured its haunting beauty on film. Now, twenty-five years from the publication of his first book on the area, Atchafalaya America's Largest River Basin Swamp, he returns to his favorite subject in C. C. Lockwood's Atchafalaya. His passion for the Atchafalaya as expressed in his photographs can be compared to John James Audubon's exuberant appreciation for the state's abundant bird life as depicted in his prints more than 150 years ago. The art of both exalts Louisiana's wildlife-and cautions against taking it for granted.
