Holding Out and Hanging On: Surviving Hurricane Katrina
Photographs by Thomas Neff

Through October.

As a volunteer in the city in the early days after the flood, Baton Rouge photographer Thomas Neff witnessed firsthand the confusion and suffering that was New Orleans as well as the persistence and strength of those who stuck it out. Neff subsequently spent forty-five days interviewing and photographing the city's holdouts, and his record is a heartbreaking but compelling look at the true impact of the disaster.


Holding Out and Hanging On: Surviving Hurricane Katrina, Neff's first book will be released in December, 2007, by The University of Missouri Press.
