Big West

You know, I always liked wildlife, I always liked the outdoors

But I was used to mountains and clear water

And streams like that

And I'd been out in the Rockies chasing bighorn sheep for about two years

When one of my stock photo agents asked me if I had some pictures of Bayou Pigeon

For a Time Life book called "The Bayous" that was just about to come out

And he figured since I-I lived here, I would have it

Well, I had never been in the Atchafalaya except crossing Highway 190

So, I called him and said I'd go out and shoot it and he said

Well, the deadline's tomorrow, so, you don't even have time to get your film developed

Well, I decided to go anyway, so I drove around the entire Atchafalaya on the levee

It took me three days
