Jennifer Shaw's Hurricane Story
New Orleans photographer, Jennifer Shaw, used plastic cameras to create images depicting her family's experiences pre and post Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The photos are hauntingly beautiful and the story is an interesting one.
"Hurricane Story is a depiction of our family's evacuation experience -
the birth, the travels and the return. These photographs represent various
elements of our ordeal. The project began as a cathartic way to process some
of the lingering anger and anxiety over that bittersweet journey. It grew into a
narrative series of self-portraits, recreated in constructed tableaus, using small toys to illustrate my experiences and emotional state during our time in exile.'"
