Eyes of the Storm

Thanks to the ever-valuable Poynter.org, I heard about this video mid-week, but was given the heads up that with a 25 minute running time, I'd need to make time to watch it.

It was worth every second.

Two years later the New Orleans Times-Picayune photo staff sat down to talk about what they felt about the storm and primarily its aftermath, as well as a wide range of moral questions they were faced with as they made their way through the city in the weeks that followed.

This is one very honest piece, right down to the reactions the photographers received from people, which is the really bizarre reaction to cameras when they're not on a crowd's terms.

There's not much to say beyond that - take the 25 minutes with your coffee some morning and watch this. It's very well done and brings all sorts of new issues to the surface that aren't getting any national attention at this point.
