3rd day, 6am is too early

Today we were up bright and early to capture some amazing light on the homes. Today is the day we photography Habitat for Humanity. Habitat is building homes all over the city but we photographed the Musicians village. We arrived early to get that great light on the homes and to get a feel for the area. We started at 9 and was shooting photographs as quick as we could. Many of us shooting over 400 images and many of us getting burned. I survived for the most part. I am not manila color but I'm not Minnesota white either. I am going to add my images from habitat. I just need to get them fixed up. I met some amazing people that came from all over the country to help the locals rebuild and to just have a home to live in. Some came as far as California and Colorado. Some as close as West Monroe, LA with a church group. Thank you all for your hard work in helping these people during your spring break. Who said that there was any compassion left in this world?


After we came back we did a critique and than went off to the cemeteries. The light was amazing of the tombs. Some of the havebeen broken off but many look just like they were before the Hurricane. We shot around the cemetery for about an hour or so and than road the street car back to the hotel and went for dinner and than off to bed. What another busy day. Tomorrow we are sure to be just as busy

Hi STephanie,

I've enjoyed following your blog; it's so nice to hear you guys are having such a positive experience down there. I've done work with Habitat in the past; I'm so glad you were there to document the good work they do.

Get home safe!
