Canal Street

On Saturday I walked with a guy named Kiss (he didn't want to be photographed). We walked from Bourbon Street and Canal down about nine blocks to where Canal Street runs under the freeway. There, under the overpass, are a group of people living in tents. They weren't there before Katrina. Along the walk he talked about what it was like to have lived through Katrina and how difficult it is to live in the city now. He explained that it was really hard for him to see people who are still displaced, that lost everything, and are still living like this. With tears in his eyes he went on to say that he doesn't want pity... he wants people to step up and take care of each other. Both people in New Orleans and around the country.
