2.6.07

I arrived 19 days after the storm hit.
The time when the flood waters were just beginning to recede.
There were no people in these neighborhoods.
The place was empty.
I happen to have a press pass.
That was the only way to get in unless you were police, army, FEMA,
or some other government entity.
The city was evacuated.
What am I suppose to do?
Track down some owner and fly him him or her in and pose them
like stick figure props in front of their house?
By this method maybe I would of taken 10 photos in the cummululative
3 months I spent there.
