Photo essay - New Orleans

[Harry Lime]

Last spring I shot a photo essay on the aftermath of Katrina.

This month my essay is featured on www.photojournale.com

It's titled 'Between Life and Death - Post Katrina New Orleans, Spring 2006'

I shot the piece with an M4 and M7 mounting 35mm and 50mm lenses. I also used a Hasselblad Xpan with the 4/45mm. Filmstock was Kodak Tri-x and APX100 in DD-X and Rodinal.

Please take a look and leave some comments.

thanks,

feli

Yesterday, some additional homes that had been reconstructed or were being reconstructed ......and some of those infamous FEMA trailers were leveled by a tornado. Those folks just can't get a break.

It seems like we can't. The tornado came within about a block of my house at 3am. We had more damage from this than from Katrina, but nothing we can't get through. The worst of it for now is a 40ft chunk of a neighbor's metal roof that's still stuck in my front yard. I've got a few shots of the aftermath that might be worth looking at once I get them developed.

Feli,
Nice work. We suffer from "Katrina Photo Fatigue" down here, but these are nicely done. Did you shoot any color? Everything seemed so vivid after the storm; it demanded color. I will have to show these to my wife, who's been doing Katrina documentation with her Xpan since Nov. of 05.
