Long-Term Recovery from Disasters

These photos show that the recovery was not exactly a miracle transformation, in many cases. The photo technique is new to me.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Ted Jackson was the Times-Picayune photographer we brought to Kobe in November 2005, and he created this memorable before-and-after comparison that appeared on the front page of the T-P during the height of the rebuilding debates in New Orleans. (we had to arrange for a helicopter and a guide, and were fortunate to have a clear day).

  Thanks for adding that background info. Must have been fun to see NOLA from a helicopter.
