Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get back to New Orleans for the third anniversary of Katrina as I was for the first and second, but I haven’t forgotten. And with Gustav bearing down, residents are in my thoughts today.

I feel a bit guilty because I’ll be shooting the Long Beach Blues Festival instead of New Orleans, but that’s life.

As a heads up, next week will be a bit slow around here as I’ll be traveling and Sarabeth is still out of internets range.
