In Hancock County, 36,000 families lost their homes and moved into trailers supplied by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Those that owned land placed the trailer on their property; the rest were placed into trailer parks. A year after the storm the majority of these families were still living in this temporary housing. The storm eroded social differences-thousands of people were facing the same challenge of trying to get their lives together again. Insurance fraud, lack of contractors and mismanagement of government grants postponed the recovery of this part of the US. Many Mississippians felt left aside while New Orleans was receiving most of the media attention and help. This series of portraits is a testimony of these people's living situation a year after the storm. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Mississippi-a-year-after-Katrina/40024 The Gulf Coast of Mississippi was hit by the eye of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005.

Douglas and Kristine Tompkins retired from the business world and moved to southern Chile in 1992, fully dedicating themselves and their considerable fortunes (a budget of $170 million) to the struggle for environmental preservation. Today, they own the largest private natural preserve in the world. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/The-Tomphinks-A-Wealth-of-Wilderness/40030 Business, Politics, and the Largest Nature Preserve in the World.

There is a hardness that characterizes these streets, and innocence dies young. This community has a high rate of unemployment (3 times more than NYC average). http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Life-on-the-Block_/40022 Since April of 2002 I have been documenting the lives of young Puerto Rican women and their families living in Spanish Harlem, Manhattan, New York.
