Hurricane survivor Carl Jasper, who was later reunited with his family while waiting to take a bus to a shelter. "Bodies floating everywhere...they underestimated Katrina, but I don't blame them for that. Dallas is doing a great job helping us"

These guys were almost in tears over the loss of New Orleans. The

city itself was their family.

Thank you for being there and bringing us these images. I don't think they are up to standards for journalism, but you did bring these people into my life with your pictures and that is pretty much the point of journalism. Of course this is photo.net and any image posted here is also liable to critique - so the problem I have with these images is how you use the wide-angle. Yes, the trend in journalism is to shoot wider than ever, but using wide angles takes a lot of skill to get images that aren't overwhelming. Its hard to make a wide angle shot not look like a "snap-shot" I'm not critisizing the people in your images, the good intent of your work but only the quality of it. Wide angle journalism is not so easy to master and it does take practice. It takes a bit more consideration than the old "F8 and be there" theory.
