Remembering Katrina

August 31st, 2006

One of my very favorite photographers, Meg Reilley, shot these haunting photos last year in the devastation of New Orleans’ Ninth Ward. A native of Louisiana, Meg’s perspective on the tragedy, as with all her work, is intensely personal, honest and tender.

All of the media frenzy around “Katrina: One Year Later” made me think that perhaps a quieter tribute, like this one, might be a more appropriate remembrance.

If you’re interested in having Meg photograph the places near and dear to you, she will be in the Boston area in early October, the NYC area in late November and back in New Orleans in early December.
