We live in New Orleans and we stayed in the city during hurricane Ida. It was a relentless storm. I have stayed for many storms and I cannot remember one being as unrelenting as Ida. Eight transmission towers were damaged and the entire city was dark. Thankfully, our new levee system held and there was no flooding in the City.

My parents own a home in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. We learned that it had power and we made our way there the day after the storm. Bay St. Louis was relatively unscathed save for some beached sailboats. We made out okay, but many people in south Louisiana are really suffering.

I’m really enjoying the Frames Photography Podcast. They speak with a wide variety of photographers from all over the world. The host of the show asks great questions and they never talk about gear. I recommend viewing the photographer’s website as you listen.

It’s been raining a lot in Southern Louisiana. Luckily the camera club that I am a member of has a rain assignment. Here are a few pictures that I took while spending a long weekend in Bay St. Louis Mississippi.
