Next Tuesday is, as you probably know, the one-year anniversary of when Hurricane Katrina touched down in Louisiana. I had the fantastic opportunity to travel down to Baton Rouge and New Orleans just a few weeks after as a guest of the Louisiana NAACP and I took a whole bunch of photos of the incredible devastation I found there. They're not overly good -- it was during what I like to call the "point-and-click" phase of my photographic development -- but I still never get tired of looking at them. They still capture, for me, what it was like to be there -- just a whole lot of emptiness and destruction. So I'm planning on pulling out and posting some of them in this space over the next couple of days. Notice the water level across the windows and doors of these two cars -- that's how high the flooding got in this neighborhood and it stayed that way for quite a while.
