Left to Louisiana's Tides, a Village Fights for Time. February 2018. Locals dance to the Aaron Foret Band at Mitch Martin's Welcome Inn, a roadhouse on the north end of Jean Lafitte, Louisiana. This photograph was made on assignment for The New York Times as part of a special report on the struggle to preserve the small town of Lafitte in the face of environmental collapse along the Gulf Coast.
