The purpose was to prevent the construction of a bypass around the town, which would result in the destruction of ten thousand trees and wipe out a lot of the natural landscape to the west. The protest against the nine mile road began with tree sit-ins but eventually moved on to obstruction of all tree clearing and construction work.

“I try to make photographs that will engage the viewer and if that means using what many call beauty so be it. If you want people to listen through photography, you must engage the viewer, to get them to notice, to look, to pay attention.”
