Katrina photographs

The first photograph I would choose is of the woman sitting down next to her shopping cart of belongings. Three details I notice are: the woman is resting, there are very few belongings in the cart, and the road is desolate behind her.
1. Kimi Seymour, 27, has only a shopping cart full of belongings left after Hurricane Katrina washed everything else away.
2. With no one to help her, she is forced to push it along the empty Interstate 10.
3. Exhausted, she puts sits with her head in her hands and rests before continuing on her journey for refuge.

The other photograph I choose is the picture of makeshift shoes. Three details are: the shoes are pieces of cardboard, rubber bands are holding them on her feet, and the paper says "keep moving".
1. Jeremiah Ward was left with no shoes after fleeing from Hurricane Katrina, and is forced to make due with whatever he can find.
2. He is left to find refuge with just light cardboard tied to his feet with rubber bands.
3. The cardboard displays the slogan," Keep Moving", something the victims of Katrina are trying so hard to do.
