Photographer David Burnett recently returned to New Orleans' Ninth Ward months after his first visit for National Geographic. Photo by Steve Majors.
"So many things change... but in the photograph, it will live forever. That image is frozen in time."
David Burnett
Photographer
I met David Burnett while researching a story for Nightly News on Burnett's haunting photos of the post-Katrina landscape along the Gulf Coast. I found the motivation behind each picture just as important as the photo itself. Burnett told me he had mixed emotions about seeing part of the ward finally cleared of debris. He hopes his photographs will serve as a reminder to everyone of the scope of the devastation.

Link to thisIn the short time that I've been here in the New Orleans bureau, I've been privileged to meet a number of interesting people and characters. I've introduced you to some of them on this blog. Whether their stories were quirky, poignant or inspirational, they all were certainly memorable.
Each day, I come across so many folks I wish you could meet personally. Now, the folks at MSNBC.com have offered me a novel way to do just that. "FACES FROM THE GULF" is a new separate picture-diary where I hope to offer you online snapshots of people I'm meeting during my time here in New Orleans.
In the past, I referred to this as a "stint." My apologies to folks who felt I was trying to portray it as negative thing. On the contrary, this has been an incredible professional and personal (I've brought my family along for the ride) journey. And that journey has barely just begun. Now I can share more of that with you. I'll still be contributing regularly to the The Daily Nightly. (And yes, I do read all your comments.) But "FACES FROM THE GULF" allows me to share smaller stories that I encounter here virtually everyday.
