Amazing set that truly captures the devastation of the hurricane, the flood, and the tragedy that has followed in terms of the lack of restoration of the ward.

Thank you for posting these. I had just finished watching the Spike Lee documentary when I saw this on the Flickr blog.

Amazing set. I had a chance to tour this exact area earlier this week, but didn't get to spend much time outside of the car to do photos. Your work images are powerful, and they definitely show what the place is like. (I think things are a bit better than when you were there, but overall there's not much hope for this area.)

thank you for sharing these photo's with the world. if i were a curator in a museum i would ask to use them in a show. i think they are dark, but somehow, beautiful.
