Ted Jackson’s Astounding Katrina Photos & Work

You must go to this link at Digital Journalist to read about and to see "The Ordeal of Ted Jackson" from it's December 2005 issue online. It is overwhelming in scope just as Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans levee breaks afterward were. Ted offers his own deeply emotional words and thoughts, too, in video clips to go along with his more than 60 Times-Picayune photographs shown in the accompanying Ted Jackson's Katrina Photo Gallery. View every one of the 60+ photos with Ted's vivid descriptions below of each one. Read them and weep. Then pray. God help us all to do what we can.
Quite a story - Didn’t have time to go through it all — but it served to remind me that I’m losing some of the passion for helping hurtingpeople sitting here inmy comfortable chair. I don’t want a Katrina but I do pray for the compassion to seek out hurting people — they are here as well as there — just not as obvious and easier to ignore.
BTW -I’m finally doing some upgrades onmy blog and adding domelinks — I assume you won’t mind if I add Finding Directions and Grace notes?
God Bless

Absolutely mesmerizing! Could not stop going through the pictures and the story. What a feeling of absolute helplessness from both ends of the camera lense.
