I am super proud that my aunt (Kathy Anderson, photographer) and uncle (Doug Parker, photo editor of the Times Picayune) were major contributors to this Pulitzer Prize winning book.

I know these photos. They are awful. Sometimes. these photos. Will remind you. Life is precious. Count your blessing.

I wish that I did not have this book published by my local newspaper, The Times-Picayune, in my library. I wish that it had never been made necessary.
Almost three years after Katrina and not a day goes by that I do not think with great sadness of the many lives lost all over New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. At the end of the book are thumbnail photos of some of the people who died in New Orleans with the title, "A Sampling Of Portraits Suggests The Vitality, The Variety, The Enormity Of Katrina's Human Toll." These photos of happy faces always bring tears to my eyes.
The staff of The Times-Picayune, won two Pulitzer prizes for their coverage of Katrina. "Awarded to the staff of The Times-Picayune for its courageous and aggressive coverage of Hurricane Katrina, overcoming desperate conditions facing the city and the newspaper."

A heart-wrenching account of one of America's worst tragedies. Being a child in New Orleans when Katrina struck, this is both painful and cathartic for me. It is very well put together and I recommend it to anybody who wants to truly understand the devastation that Hurricane Katrina caused to the city of New Orleans.

This was another decent source for research material for my research project/upcoming book. The pictures I think we're of more importance than the text. These images revitalized my passion for this project and the love for the city, the culture, and the people of N'awlins.
