thirty six months later

today i was searching for a book with info and images from the immediate aftermath of katrina and it got quite frustrating because the ones you could look inside had a lot of photos very similar to what i already had. (why by the book when you have the photos?)

then it struck me - the photos i have are very similar to the ones of the immediate aftermath.

three years later.

there's a little less water now, granted, but three years have past and the desimation in a lot of the city is still very aparent.

how can it be that so little has changed in that period of time?

people have so much unrealised potential. we're a powerful force of energy when we want to be.

is there really any need for such a mess?
