Recently I experienced my first hurricane as Isaac slowly washed over the area offering constant rain and strong winds. With New Orleans power lines all above ground, we quickly lost power at the start of the storm on Tuesday (8/28). Isaac then sat on the city for around 48 hours. Most of this time I spent helping out around the neighborhood clearing drains, meeting neighbors driven to their porch in an attempt to escape the heat of their homes, taking care of my house, and walking the dog. I did not center on photographing Isaac, but rather personally experiencing it. In many ways it is like a blizzard, but much more dangerous with the warm conditions. The power outage and storm made time move in a welcomed way, in which the societal construct of time lost it meaning and life  centered on the moments we were living in rather than planning for. Beyond power outages that continued through the weekend, New Orleans got off easy in comparison to the rest of the area. These images center around the Mid City neighborhood I live in.
