About me:
The New Orleans Kid Camera Project was initially created to address the psychological and emotional impacts of Hurricane Katrina on children returning home to New Orleans. Through the use of photography, creative writing and mixed media, youth from flooded neighborhoods explore their environment and express themselves, their stories and feelings with their friends. This project provides a venue for growth and recovery. By teaching tangible skills and exposing our participants to new means of expression, we hope to empower them to impact their lives and environment.

Who I'd like to meet: The children of post-Katrina New Orleans are young artists, documentary photographers, historians, and educators. The streets in their photographs depict historically neglected communities, which prior to Katrina had been underrepresented and overlooked. They capture images of this unique time in Untied States history, from the heart of their city, as only residents of New Orleans can. This forum creates a dialogue with those outside of the Gulf region, many of whom seek an unfiltered vision- an alternative to "traditional" media.
