WILL STEACY, BIRTHDAY, NEW ORLEANS, 2005
These images of found-damged photographs were made while documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The found photographs have been stained, transformed and stolen by the floodwaters; the memories that these snapshots once cherished are now tarnished. The distorted images represent the lives of the people they depict: displaced, permanently scarred and stuck in transition as they end one life and work to begin a new one.
the rest of the images can be seen here under the “The Human Stain” http://www.willsteacy.com/
Everyone wants to give their kid a better life then the one they had growing up. But without those experience’s and struggles you wouldn’t the be the person you are today. And you wouldn’t be able to teach your kid through the lessons you’ve learned. The person thats given everything, learns nothing.
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."

"It’s okay to breathe, and it’s okay to live your life not worrying every second. just live and have faith that if you work hard and stay focused things will fall into place on their own."
