Earlier this year, I tagged along on the book tour of Davy Rothbart. By far, the most memorable stop was New Orleans which had been severely damaged by flooding just two months prior to our visit. We found a bag of photos on the porch of an abondoned home in the Lower Ninth Ward, and assumed the owner had discarded them thinking they were ruined. At first glance, they all seem completely wrecked, but as we peeled them apart we discoved that a few of the photos, that were tightly pressed together, survived.
I love this shot.
