5th anniversary of hurricane katrina

These are some of the photographs I made when I went to New Orleans 16 months after the hurricane hit. I worked as a volunteer for an organization called Nechama (Jewish Response to Disaster). I spent a week helping gut houses. Of course, my camera was never too far away from my sledgehammer.

I originally posted some of these in black and white. i realize now I like them better in color and in the square format.
