Book Synopsis
Using an innovative digital technology that creates photographs that look almost like paintings, Dan Burkholder offers a powerful new way of seeing New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Trade Review
"The wonder of these photographs is that they look like paintings, yet the objects depicted within them are not idealized. The dying domestic objects of the people to whom these interiors belong are no longer of this world. They have been captured on their journey to becoming indistinct trash. At the moment of their capture, they still looked like what they used to be, but moments after they were photographed, they no longer were anything. Their last breath of life is in these photographs; their only other existence is in the memories of their owners." Andrei Codrescu
