Special Presentation today at Assembly: Ted Jackson, a shepherd at TOCC, also Pulitzer-Prize winning photographer showed a frame by frame presentation of his journey from the evacuation from Katrina, rescue operations, lootings, fires, deaths, floods, and cleanup operations.

Pictures are like trying to tell people about doing this relief work/trying to explain the scope of the problem here in Louisiana. You see the image and it's gripping, but you can go out to eat and forget about it when you walk away. Ted is a GIFTED photograper. I would normally say that I wish everyone here could have seen his presentation, but really, it would just be another attempt to explain everything and not conveying it. "The pictures don't do it justice... you would just have to see it for yourself." But thanks Ted, for trying to do it justice. The images were unforgettable.
