People are out there taking photos in Iraq and Niger, and many other God forsaken places... so forget the mud.... and get out there and get some quality photos... I believe you are missing the chance of a lifetime... Steve Steve, I understand what you are saying, but this is like a surgeon operating on his own child. You would do it it a minute to save their life, but for guys like Jeffery and me, who adopted New Orleans, and gave much of our careers to the lovely city.. well, it is just heartbreaking for me to see my Parish church with waterlines eight feet up the wall, to see the pews that I sat in week after week all jumbled up. To see a picture of a house I took and renovated from a shell, now stripped of the life, to see a picture of my children's school completely gutted. Jeffery's Church was ruined, Mine too. This is hard. My friend Chuck Patch who does work like mine for the New Orleans Collection, says he goes out every week after trying to clean his house, and just cannot get anything that is different. Steve, you just cannot imagine how fucked up most of New Orleans is right now. Makes me cry.
