I shot this while volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans during May of 2007. This photo is dedicated to all people whose lives were affected by Hurricane Katrina.
We will rebuild it, bigger, stronger, better. Now they will know who is the boss. Now they will know what devine being we really worship!
A Shot, directly beside the WTC construction Site. / Again on Kodak Portra NC 160 With my 500 c/m.
Sometimes a soft wind blows / and scatters the very fragments of you life all over the page.. / and sometimes, if you are very lucky, someone comes to you / and helps you to put the picture back together again. It may be a different picture, / but who’s to say its not equally beautiful.. and occassionally even more so!
Here is the first house to get rebuilt in this neighborhood, everything was flattened when Katrina came through! / Some pictures are hard to look at , but it is a reminder that we should not keep building wright on top of the water!!!
This is Grassmarket in Edinburgh.
Watercolour / Original Sold, Oct 08. / Full sheet Arches 300gsm (stretched with nail gun) Based on a photo of people viewing the construction taking place in Ground Zero. The viewing platform, inside the American Express Building, was originally a marble wall but was replaced with glass when the building was repaired after 9/11 so that people could come and view the area. The people were respectfully quiet as they look on as the site was being rebuilt.
A tiny bird has built her nest atop a Federal Signal Corporation tsunami siren in Kauai, Hawaii and stands surveying what lies beneath her. This gentle, little soul unknowingly took a symbol of something associated with fear, loss, destruction and devastation and showed that it is possible to weather the storm and rebuild.
Dresden Womens Church (Frauenkirche), destroyed in the night of 13. and 14. february 1945 at second World War, rebuild between 1994 and 2005. / The Dresden Womens Church is one of the greatest sandstone buildings in the world, the bright bricks are new, the black bricks are original.

Nikon D60, F10, 1/400s, ISO 400, Focal length 110mm, HDR Found this old tram/railway carriage while working in Hazelmere last week. Not sure if it is an abandoned project or is being rebuilt
I wanted to do an image that symbolizes the Victorian bushfires that started on Saturday the 7th of February 2009, but I didn’t want this image to be sad (although we all know how devastating it has been), I wanted this image to be about the loss, the lives saved, how Australians came together and the growth to come. The Bird symbolizes all the lives that were saved, but this bird has no nest, so it also symbolizes all the homes that were lost and the nothingness some of these people now feel. The Birds claw clinging onto the tree branch is there to symbolize the fire fighters thoughts of hanging in there, and putting all these fires out. The Heart is there to symbolize all the heart ache and love, which us Australians have felt and will never forget. The Flower is there to symbolize all the help, support, donations and everything that us Australians have given to those affected, just to let them know that they have got support, and us Aussies are all here to help. The Music symbols are there to symbolize (all the lives lost) all the spirits flying up into the sky. The Leafs symbolize the growth to come, with rebuilding these affected communities. And I did not want an actual image of a fire in my design, so the swirls of the bird’s tail are there to symbolize the raging fire that affected so many. Inside the heart there are a few words i put in using photoshop. /

I ended up donating $630 for the bush fire appeal, from 2 paintings i auctioned and a couple of T’s :o)
A few weeks ago I was giong up to the Blue Ridge Parkway by using one of the back country roads. You never know what you will see on these roads, they can be fun to drive and very interesting. About half way up I saw this rusted out truck in front of this little log cabin. I stopped to take some shots of the scene. I wanted to get closer but was scared to, even though you could tell no one was living there.Just as I decided to get closer and went to step on the property, with my back to the road a truck came down the road and as he got right at me his tail gate fell down and his big metal trash can fell in the road right behind me. The noise was so loud I thought a shot gun had gone off. I just about passed out with a heart attack. My heart was beating so fast I could hardly breath. He knew he scared me pretty bad so he came over to make sure I was OK. We laughed about it, but he did tell the truck had been there for a long time. You could tell it had because of the moss growing on it and the tires half buried in the leaves, so he lift and I took a few more pictures but I didn’t go onto the property. Thank you for looking.
this is an osprey who was rebuiling its nest. it would fly awat and a few minutes later return with something. it woulld then rearrange its nest. this went on for about 45 miinutes. photo taken in great kills gateway park on staten island, 5/20//09, using a nikon d60 camera.
This was taken about a year ago from the window of the rolling tripod. We just drove thru New Orleans and could see abandon buildings, houses, roads. It was pretty clear people left and never came back. It was really sad. Then you see a bunch of rebuilding and cleaning up, even this long after the big hurricane. I am sure this area will always show scares of what happend here.
A lot of money is being put into the rebuilding and restoration of the infrastructure in Old Montreal. When it is done, lovely streetscapes like this can be found. I have prepared this 3 exposure HDR from the RAW image data, using Corel Photoshop X2, then enhanced with digital camera noise reduction. 2009/11/29 – 145 Views
REBUILDING LIFE FROM MY HEART THIS TIME / A COLLAGE DONE BY ME….THEN SCANNED INTO PHOTOSHOP AND MANIPULATED THE IMAGE
This is the 1st in a new Car Rust Set called Beyond Bog. Bog is a car putty filler that is used to try and fix (hide) rust….the cars in these next few shots are all a bit past the ‘bog’ stage, they really need to go…I don’t think even bog can save them, they are Beyond Bog… / The tropical weather is not kind up here. / 1970 Holden Panel Van, seen better days.
