This is one guy that loves his Mama and Im all for that seeing as I am one myself, hes also a photographer (I'm still working on that one) I love his photos and he does a real good down to earth honest no bullshit pohoto-journo-realism thing
His mother lost everythign in Hurricane Katrina and hes documented the aftermath through his incredibly loving and perceptive lens.
heres a brief example of his writing. damned if i can get the stupid picture to work.
This is Ricki. She's
homeless. And
poor. She's been waiting in line in a Kmart parking lot
for
three hours, no
shade, scorching summer. She's been waiting to get
her FEMA
claim number. She's
heard they've been giving two thousand
dollars in aid,
but she's worried because
they will only direct deposit
it in bank accounts,
or mail her a check. She's
worried because she's
poor, and doesn't
have
a bank account to direct
deposit into. And
she's worried because she's
homeless, so she can't get the
mail the
check might be in.Ricki is only 32.
When
I asked if I could take
her
picture she was worried she'd look bad
because she hadn't done her hair. I
told her she was beautiful. And I meant
it.>
