Robert Polidori's "After the Flood" is a collection of haunting photos of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
I'm desperately trying to track down this book for a decent price. Robert Polidori's After The Flood is a look at the disaster after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. I was reminded of this book recently after watching Beyonce's Formation music video (you should really watch it).
Polidori's photos make the mess in New Orleans look beautiful. But we all know it wasn't. Maybe it's a bit of disaster porn, but on a whole different level that we don't normally see. It was time-sensitive, just like the relief at the time, and the effects are longstanding.
But back to the book. It's out of print I think and copies are limited. It's currently available at Amazon -- but I'm holding my breath for a cheaper alternative.
