Emma Raynor - New Orleans: Two & A Half Years After Katrina September 22, 2009

From January through April of 2008, Emma Raynor volunteered with OnSite Relief, a rebuilding team working mostly in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. Her series of color photographs taken during this four month period represents Emma's vision of New Orleans two and a half years after the massive destruction of Hurricane Katrina. The exhibit includes images of both the reconstruction effort and the remaining devastation of large parts of New Orleans. The photos are meant to remind viewers of this unique city's rich heritage and beauty, as well as the major rebuilding work that still needs to be done.
