Katrina
Just found this site on another board. It is a big flash download - 11.2 meg, but the images are worth it. If you don't like Green Day turn your speakers off. But look at the images. There is also another flash show on the memorial page. Loads pretty much instantly. Vince Gill plays the music there.
Some really powerful images... |

Thanks for this link Chris. *gulp*
I started watching it and nearly closed it several times, but made myself watch it until the end. It's hard to imagine - no - it's impossible to imagine the loss. We live in our cushy little bubbles, taking so much for granted, and so many would complain if they only got 11oz. in their drink instead of 12oz.
We should all reflect a little more and be grateful for what we do have.
I'll leave my political opinions out of this and hope anyone else responding to this thread do the same.

Thats' quite appalling, unbearably moving. I will follow Brother Brad's lead and refrain from ranting, although I want to...

| Thanks for keeping the politics out of it. I almost put this in the Rant forum and I was going to blow off a lot of steam...but I looked at the images first... |

Wow.........not a super religious person....but said a little prayer for all those people.
Seems the older I get..the more sentimental I am. I often give thanks for all my blessings. Seeing something like that, really makes you think. |

There is a photo spread by Roberto Polidori in this weeks New Yorker magazine that is just stunning.It is called "The waste land" a portfolio of interiors and streetscapes in post Katrina New Orleans. If you don't subscribe, bend the rules at your local magazine stand or use library. There is also a devastating article by Dan Baum on the police force in aftermath of Katrina
Just finished watching it a third time. Thanks for the link, it was very moving.

Totally moving and like Robert, I'll refrain from ranting.
We have a huge Katrina survivor group living here in Austin now. Bless them all, the living and dead, for they deserve a special place for having withstood such wrath and uncanny conditions that forced them into a life (or death) they could never have imagined.
May New Orleans and its spirit rise up like the phoenix! |
