In the ten years since Hurricane Katrina's storm surge overwhelmed New Orleans's levee system, the catastrophe has lived in the public imagination as a parade of dramatic images. Often overlooked are smaller, more gradual changes. For years, David G. Spielman has documented these inconspicuous changes, in haunting images whose simplicity evokes the work of the Farm Security Administration photographers Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Gordon Parks."The great photographer David Spielman captured the essence of hope and despair in his powerful pictures of Katrina's devastation. But he never put his Leica down, because he knows that after ten years the recovery of his beloved city is both amazing and incomplete. The result is this poignant portrait of rebirth and blight, perfect for an artist who's a master of black and white."Walter Isaacson, president and CEO of the Aspen Institute and best-selling author
