PARTING SHOTS OF OLD TOWN BAY ST. LOUIS
(published 2006)

"After Katrina, when I came back to see our small town, I immediately started taking pictures of Bay St. Louis.  I couldn't believe what had happened, and didn't figure many others would either.  In an attempt to record the scenes I unexpectedly found a bit of humor in some of the settings.  After a few months, I decided to take the meager insurance check from a piece of rental property and self publish my photos."

Here are a few of the examples of the tricks
