New Orleans: A Post-Katrina Photo Essay.


This photo essay is a capture of time and space, 15 months after Hurricane Katrina and the breaking of two New Orleans (NOLA) levees in August of 2005. The photographer traveled with his New Orleans family the week of Thanksgiving through these areas and documented the conditions as of November 2006. Although the scarcity of residents and devastation of places of worship were overwhelmingly disheartening, encouraging spiritual beacons rose from the ruin. Shows featuring photographs from the essay and book signings are being conducted in various art venues, libraries, and bookstores in Alabama and Mississippi currently.
