Please check out a slide show of my work on Time Magazines web site this weekend from my series “Religion in Ruins,” and the “Destruction of St. Bernard Projects” and some samples from my new handmade book of Katrina images edited by Jack Woody on my web site. This weekend we will celebrate the great will and spirit of New Orleans residents while we mourn the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. We will remember what still needs to be done in Louisiana and the people we all need to help.
