POPSHurricane Katrina Pictures: K+36 The Lower Ninth 
I lived in New Orleans on assignment for about five years. I was there until about two weeks before hurricane Katrina came and devastated NOLA & a vast part of the Gulf Coast. My dear friend, Michael Styborski, is a graphic artist and very talented photographer. Born and raised in NOLA, he made it his life's work to document the aftermath. Month-by-month, with his camera in hand, he explored the areas most decimated by the storm. He published a book of photos called "K+36 The Lower Ninth, dedicated to the spirit and faith of the people of the lower Ninth Ward." The title indicates that 36 months later...the devastation tragically remains. It's inexcusable!!! The book is for sale of Blurb, but if you go to the site, you can mouse over every page of the book and see the pictures for yourself. "K+36 The Lower Ninth Ward" was nominated for the "People's Choice Award." Voting ends soon. I hope it wins. After all those people have been through, and are still enduring,

POPSLook Closely, Doctor: See the Camera? Psychiatrists say that other movies whose characters are living in a unreal world or being watched by malevolent forces, including “The Matrix,” “Edtv” and even the film based on George Orwell’s “1984,” have come up in conversations with psychotic patients. But the premise of “The Truman Show” (“What if you were watched every moment of your life?” according to a promotional blurb) is strikingly similar to what patients describe as their own experiences. Reinforcing their beliefs is the fact that in the movie, Truman is right about being watched and recorded at all times. Every other character is part of the conspiracy.
