Doug Boutwell the occasional odd thought or image

Back from New Orleans

And tomorrow it’s off to San Francisco, then LA, and then, finally, back home for a while.  Been on the road so much that it’s been hard to keep up with the real world.  ImageX was a blast, and New Orleans is a great town, full of wonderful people.  And yes, it’s still all fucked up from Katrina, which is just appalling.  To think that we’re so busy fucking up Iraq, fucking up Afghanistan, fucking up the stock market, and the global financial markets, and the environment, and just generally too busy having a great-big meltdown on all fronts to help out… well that’s really disappointing, and it’s really a barometer of what bad shape we’re in.

    Great photos. I love the one on the top. So many birds!

    Well, it’s fucked up in NOLA and that’s really sad for many reasons, but the fact is that the most fucked up places there are below sea level on a big floating marsh, essentially, so even if we rebuilt, that would be kind of fucked up too.

    The world’s going in a handbasket, for sure.
