Rude Journalism

Our very, very angry friend The Rude Pundit has ceased his entertaining rants and is currently doing a multi-part series of essays about travelling through New Orleans 4 months after Katrina.

He is veering perilously close to doing better journalism than the pros, in his spare time.

Great stuff. Really. But on taking photos...

Spent two months working with displaced residents from the Ninth Ward and St. Bernard areas who wound up in my small town in Texas. A benevolent screenwriter sent me 100 cell phones so these people could keep up with one another, contact FEMA, apply for jobs and provide a call back number for housing opportunities.

I took a few photographs to send to my benefactor but other than that, was too busy to think about my camera. I sort of regret and miss some of those folks who have now found permanent housing or moved back home. Of course, I can still check on them. After all, I have all their cell phone numbers!
