The following photo's are from the 'Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina' project. - 2005
'The uniform of the american soldier York stands on a coathanger in a house's ruins.-2005'
'Lenny Trollman is a homeless who lives in his car. He lays on the front seat and smokes a cigarette. He has refused to leave the town and stayed during and after the storm even if the area is empty and most of its inhabitants have left the city. -2005'
'Due to massive floating of the tidal surge (water wave), casinos barges are destroyed or hurled hundred of feet away from their anchorage points.'
Three different style images, showing the impact of life changing natural disaster.
I'm personally not a fan of using the black and white, in some cases it working but not all. The last image, I believe was taken using HDR, might have worked better using a colour image.
