Overview

This uniquely intimate collection of correspondence and photographs from the ground zero of post-Katrina New Orleans offers special, new insight into the tragedy. Previously published and renowned New Orleans photographer, David Spielman, remained in his uptown New Orleans home during and after the storm. Armed with his camera and a gun for a self-protection, he captured the turmoil on the streets of his very own neighborhood in a way no one else could. Included here are Spielman's breathtaking photographs paired with the emails he sent while the full impact of the hurricane's devastation and failed governmental assistance was still unfolding. Of all the books written about Hurricane Katrina, none can compare to the intimacy and beauty of this professional photographer's personal account from inside the eye of the storm.
