I have not seen much about the anniversary of Katrina today. Then I read the ReadyMade blog and they posted After the Storm.  The post has really good links and I just wanted to share it with people out there.

The link to A.D. New Orleans After The Deluge by Josh Neufeld is really amazing. Heartbreaking. 
It evokes the same feelings that the graphic novel of the 9/11 Report incited in me.  It is a little more accessible. Some times draw images just hold more for me than photographs because I have been bombarded with the photographs. I think that sounds little cruel...but for me, it is true. I get numb to what I am seeing in order to protect myself and to keep from freaking out.

It's just that the graphic novel versions takes the most significant moments and visually expresses in images what probably is described in hundreds of words.

Here is a link to Neufeld's version of the satellite photo from August 29.  It might just be me and the knowledge I have of that day but that was all I needed to feel dread and sadness.
