"It was early 2006 before I made my way out to the Lake Vista section of New Orleans.  The sign caught my attention, as well as the red line marking flood water levels: just blocks from Lake Pontchartrain, the area received a prodigious amount of water.

     I strengthened the colors hoping to capture the true morbidity of the place before my eyes; if these people didn’t leave before the storm struck they probably perished."      Rolland Golden
