I'm still mentally processing what I saw and heard. The folks speaking at the meeting often brought me to tears. I also shot some b&w film which will give me another look. Yet while we tend to imagine that the situation should look devastated and bleak - the homeless residents who own these properties are attempting to hold on to some hope of rebuilding their lives. When I first viewed these digital images I had the same feeling that you did "too sunny." And yet that is what I saw. There's an honesty to the grass growing in sunlit blue skies. So I don't know yet what the final form of the images will take. While FEMA and EPA say the water and air are great; I was coughing within an hour on day one in the neighborhoods and had diarrhoea by day two.
