The guy who created it is a Central American immigrant living in the French Quarter. It contains some very good comments with the photos.
Be sure to catch his disdain for the media in the later pictures, and particularly Brian Williams. The man has FReeper potential.
Anyone else trolling the depths of the internet to see the nuts who are coming up with all kinds of conspiracy theories about the hurricane?
I just read that the "Zionists" bombed the levee. This is the most mindnumbing/rotting crap i've ever run into - and it's all over the place.
I only bring it up because before too long you're going to hear McKinney or some other DIMbulb DUmmy spouting it.
here's an example

Put on some galoshes before clicking that - it's a stinker.
Figured you guys would like this guy's perspective on NO and the media. He made some awesome pictures and the comments are cogent and in places a riot.
Excellent photo essay on the storm, good shots of changing conditions and excellent documentation of the timeline of the flooding and relief efforts.
I have this "concert" for the Gulf Coast on the tube and it is coming across like a funeral dirge. Is this some sort of eulogy for the American spirit?
While the source and scope of the tragedy was quite unique, I'll never forget the welling of tears and glorious rage I felt upon witnessing The Who's performance (and many others) after Sept. 11.
Sadness is right and proper; surrender in the face of tremendous misfortune is someone else's business. I'm looking for some inspiration.
Thanks for posting this link. It's an excellent slideshow. I enjoyed his comments as much as the photos.
Very interesting and more than a little bit disturbing. The water began to rise and the people sat around and looked at it. The water got knee deep and all hell broke loose and it wasn't a rush to get out of the city.
Excellent photo essay.
Thanks for posting -- great first-hand story and pictures.
I just finished viewing this essay, which I received from a friend.
Thanks for posting this . . . I was looking for somewhere on FR to make this available.
It is still baffling to me that the thousands of people stranded at the CC did not take any initiative of their own to do the same thing.
Great pictures no matter his politics.
Great slide presentation bump!
Very impressive work. This guy has the makings of a million-dollar photo narrative. He needs to get this thing copyrighted as soon as possible, then start working on an agent.
The one shot of the cops "subduing" the looter at night is Pulitzer material.

Thanks for sharing these (AMV, for sure and NerdDad for moving them to FR exposure. . ) Missed the link when I first scanned this thread. . .then had some trouble and figured check it out 'later'. . .
Wow. ..I almost missed it. I hope these continue to be shared. . .
Gotta make sure you aren't left out of this one. This guy's photo essay is awesome.
Great photo essay.
I thought it incredible that he and his friends just ho-humed their way through the whole week, went to the Convention Center and saw they'd NEVER get out from there, found their own transportation and escaped the city.
Just freaking incredible.
And Jesse Jackson had NO residents resorting to cannabalism. What a load.
"I don't know her name, but she works for MSNBC. My apologies for my wordage, but this wench didn't know what the hell was going on. She made up 75% of what she was saying and exaggerated about 95% of everything that she did know. The message: do you want to be a reporter? All you need to do is have a pretty face and buy a Thesaurus!"
LOL!

must see
