Does this have any connection to the Alaskan Bridge to Nowhere? Congress earmarked more than $200 million for it; how much did it allot to help people rebuild N.O.? Sarah Palin says she told Congress the money wasn't needed, but she kept it anyway and used it for other things. Imagine what a difference it could have made for the homeless in New Orleans.
Fading photographs tacked to a mold-ridden wall, years later, Katrina's flood line still is pronounced. As memories quite literally disappear from abandoned walls, I've been trying to preserve the remnants left behind.
I love New Orleans. Hanging in the humid air and spilling out saxophones is the soul of a city unlike any other. And it’s a city still desperately struggling in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. And also persevering against all odds.
The continued neglect of this city, coupled with the uniquely unbreakable spirit of New Orleans, motivates me to take photos. I've spent the past five years revisiting this city, documenting the destruction and the triumph over it to celebrate what makes this city so great...a friendly reminder of the importance of saving it.
