On Friday, June 9, 2006, I posted a series of photographs taken along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. At that time, it had been nine months since Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Waveland, Mississippi, laying waste to the homes and communities in her path.
It has now been sixteen months since that destruction and, lest we forget, much remains to be done. Recovery from a disaster of this magnitude does not occur in a matter of months or, possibly, even years. Will it take decades? An entire generation? Who can say for certain?
These photographs are installment two in this on-going series.

These are very powerful. I have yet to see it. Too busy with my life to go over there. My uncle lost a house in Bay St. Louis. It just a few blocks from the water.
I wonder what type of camera you are using for these? We just bought a Canon Supershot S3. It has issues with the zoom creating too much noise.
Thanks for sharing.
I think it will take a generation at least. How long did it take for Japan to recover from Hiroshima? It wasn't in a year and a half that's for sure.
Take care Lucky. Congratulations on the wedding.
These photographs were taken, in all likelihood, in the neighborhood of your uncle's loss.
I use a Nikon D50. It's the most accessable of the Nikon digital SLR's (in terms of price). I really like it.
The lens (18-55mm) was at 18mm to capture the widest available views. I have two other lenses and don't care for the one with the longest zoom. Like you say, too noisy.
Thanks for the congrats!
