I can't believe Katrina victims are still suffering while America is fighting a war that should never have happened. Sad indeed. I actually forgot.

I was due to attend that conference the same year and it was moved to Orlando. I keep trying to find a conference that will send me back to New Orleans, but so far no luck.

This year I get to go to New Orleans for a convention. We are going early so we can visit and hopefully see the 'real' New Orleans. I am very excited. It makes me sick that from what I hear New Orleans is not back to capacity, our government should be asshamed.

Of course, this is the first year I actually knew that Mardi Gras was even associated with Lent. So I definitely won't be forgetting New Orleans at this time. Happy first day of lent to you as well :D Thanks for reminding us. Of course, this is the first year I actually knew that Mardi Gras was even associated with Lent.

My sister had lived in Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish for the past thiry plus years. Her home was destroyed in the storm and its aftermath. She and her husband have relocated, and are now living north of Lake Pontchartrain in the Covington area. She is a seamstress by hobby and made the doll in the photo. I photographed it as it lay on the debris pile that at one time had been their front yard and now contained an entire household of possissions and memories. As a photographer I was struck by the visual artistry that the scene created. As a brother I was horrified that my sister had been so Thoroughly victimized by this storm.
