AFTERMATH

I am slowly but surely getting my images and projects from the past few weeks edited and posted. Tonight I edited a few images from an essay I shot in my hometown of Galveston, Texas of the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. I only had a few hours on the island since they were still under curfew, but I managed to get a few nice/quiet images of the destruction and aftermath. I originally wanted to get images of people cleaning up, but there were very few people out at all. The city was mostly abandoned and the more I shot I began to realize that the images as a collective were supposed to show that. This image is Omega Bay, an area of water seen just inland from Galveston Island. Several boats were overturned by the devastating winds and waves. The plants of Hitchcock and Texas City are seen in the background. It was originally built in the late 1800′s and was completely destroyed by Ike. This one and the rest of the images (18) are under multiples on my website.
