5 Years later



There is a small review on Richard Misrach's new photo book "Destroy This Memory" on NPR .
It is a collection of images that he took of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. His images differ from the hordes of images you see on this subject matter. They are images of the graffiti left by people on their lost belongings expressing the emotions or thoughts they were feeling about losing everything. This was a huge shift for Misrach who normally photographs with a large format camera, he used a small digital camera to capture these much more intimate scenes.
