Operation Eden

This blog has beautiful photgraphy and commentary of post-Katrina Lousiana and Missippi. I'm reminded of a complaint from Steven about how he was bothered by someone in his class remarking at the beauty of Katrina destruction photos. I couldn't remark on the quality of those photos, as I wasn't there, but if they were beautiful I can't imagine why it shouldn't be talked about. I'm always sort of bothered by the idea of any sort of art, statement or joke being "too soon." If something is pretty, interesting, or funny, it deserves the credit for being so. Regardless of context these photographs are outstanding. If anything their association with the disaster adds to their effect.
