When last we blogged...

I am experiencing an enormous sense of guilt over having not finished the story of our amazing week. I will get to Friday, I promise! ...Here's a preview. My stalwart co-instructor, Becky, befriending her "supper" (lunch).

and Back to Wednesday....

Amanda H. , Antonio, and a couple of others stayed behind from our early morning shoot in Holy Cross Wednesday to go back to Tennessee Street. Amanda had made a beautiful image of Miss Gertrude's dog, and wanted to give her a print. We got to her house just in the nick of time, because she was heading out for a doctor appointment. She loved the picture and posed for a formal portrait for Amanda. Then we wandered up the street and knocked on Robert Green's door. See the last post for more detail about our visit with him!

Our visit with the Times-Picayune!

I'm going to start posting more of these in the next couple of days--here's a taste of the incredible generosity of time and access the Times-Picayune afforded us--Audrey and Anthony were on the ride-along with me and photographer Chris Granger:

Yard Sale

Here is a whirlwind of images from the last few days: In order--Sally shooting early morning; Sally and Amanda T. shooting early morning on Rampart; Dropping a photo off from the 1st travel and study program (by Rich Ryan); Amanda H. interviewing Robert Green in his trailer (Robert will shortly be ground-breaking on a home through the Make It Right Foundation--he was incredibly generous with his time and story. He lost both his mother and granddaughter in Katrina.); Amanda H., Robert Green, and Antonio.
