Wow, it’s hard to believe it was two years ago when Katrina hit. For me it was definitely a turning point in my life. I would have never guessed jumping in my car two days after Katrina to document and capture images would change my life. I left not knowing what I would find, traveling along closed interstates, over debris and through completely destroyed cities. I finally made my way to what was left of Biloxi.

Since that initial trip I have traveled all along the coast watching relief and finally rebuilding efforts. I talked to monks who only survived by climbing in the roof of their new temple, I’ve met refugees from Laos who became community leaders among their people, and I met many who knew or found those who died in the storm.

My journey has also taken to unexpected places like Laos, Thailand, Jamaica and the Philippines. I traveled to Thailand to document a woman finding her refugee camp from 25 years ago and visited families that live and work in a dumpsite in the Philippines. There has been so much I could write a book on the people I’ve met.

Today went back and looked through pictures, videos, and dispatches from the past two years. It certainly brings up a lot of emotions.

For those of you who have been part of the journey, I hope the images have captured some of your memories. For those who have followed along, thank you! I have had so much outside support and I really appreciate it.

Below are some quick links to Katrina related projects I’ve put together.
