-----------------  





How can I say this without sounding weird?  Jeffery is one of my  best 
friends. We live 250 miles away from each other, but talk to each other  
regularly 
on the phone, and have gotten together many times. He has been a guest  in 
my 
home, and I hope it happens more.  My family and my cats and my  dog are 
fond 
of him.
 
That said, the pictures are technically competent as I would expect of  
Jeffery.  He has captured  moments that you who are living in a  situation 
of 
normalcy cannot imagine.  The church shot ranks as one of the  best I have 
seen in 
the record of New Orleans.
 
I want to tell you though,  any of you could pull out your point and  shoot 
and achieve this level of documentation on the devastation of that  
wonderful 
city.  Unfortunately, it once were the details that made the  picture of New 
Orleans vivid.  Today it is the wide shot, and there is no  camera that can 
do 
that.  If you get a chance, please Google images  "Lakeview Katrina."  
You'll 
see what I mean.
 
New Orleans needs help, and if you have any political clout with a  
Congressman or a Senator, I urge you to email the church shot to  them.   
Ask them if 
they have visited the Gulf Coast.  If they  haven't, say  "why?"
 
Thanks and 
 

Regards,  
Sonny
