I've uploaded a handful of shots to the LUG gallery to share with you all. It was extremely hard work with lots of work on temporary housing, work in the donation distribution center, and "mucking" which is stripping a house down to the studs after the flooding. I met an amazing group of people, both local folks and volunteers from all over the country. I took an Olympus E300 just to make all the large sensor nerds mad, and because its a great camera. I wish I had taken more photos but I was working so hard and was so tired I found that the camera stayed in the bag more than usual. At any rate here are a few I selected from around 100 or so shots. The war-like scenes are from Biloxi which is simply devastated - the people shots are from the D'Iberville P.O.D. (Point of Distribution) on "food day" where everyone comes to receive donated food, and finally there are a couple shots from some work I did for an elderly couple, The Diaz's, "mucking" their home which is stripping it down to the studs after it flooded. Comments are welcome but I also hope everyone will take a moment to be thankful they are sitting in their warm homes this Thanksgiving. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album183 Dave
