Gulf Shrimping decimated

Jack Harmon, a career Shrimper, speaks candidly about his experiences before and after the rig explosion on the Gulf of Mexico. I met Jack when he drove up to ask what I was doing. I had my camera on a tripod shooting some establishing shots of the area. While he and his wife and father in law were sitting in the truck, he shared a great deal of information with me about the industry...his observations and feelings before and after the Deep Water Horizon blew up. If during this interview it sounds like I'm asking leading questions, it's because we had previously discussed the subject matter; and, I wanted Jack to restate that aspect of his story.
