[Leica] Lower 9th Ward - Now is it complete without a theme?

Jeffery,
For what it's worth.... everything and anything that turns you on visually 
it's probably a photograph of some meaning. I'd not worry too much about 
putting anything into packages for the moment, as it's far more important to 
keep documenting everything.

Until we started to see your presentations, and I doubt anyone on the list 
had any idea just how bad it was. I was of the belief the place was crawling 
with clean-up crews by the thousands, heavy equipment scrapping up the mud 
debris and the city was getting back on its feet.

Well that myth was completely shattered with your photography.

I see your project as a monumental documentary to the modern times of today, 
what was done, what wasn't done and what has yet to be done! And worse? 
Quite possibly of more to come if the storm season is as bad as last and 
becomes worse this year. And who's to say it will or wont.

What will be for sure, is this incredible series of photographs you're 
putting together capturing living history for those who still have no idea 
what it looks like and how it'll look in 1 year? 5? 10?  More? If ever it's 
completely cleaned up and back to a functioning city.
