The book is cut so short and so narrow that some text is cut off.

It's hard to say that I loved something that made me so sad, but the photos in this book are quite powerful. I saw some of them hanging in The Louisiana State Museum, whose Hurricane Katrina exhibit I highly recommend.

Weird. Beautiful pictures, but...weird.
