Jack, you've definitely got some great but heartbreaking pictures there. I was back on the Coast again this weekend and it doesn't get much easier each time I drive down the beach. BTW, I've replied via e-mail to your other questions, about the artisan soaps. Thanks again, I'm glad you've enjoyed the site! Thanks for the comments, Insane Nerd and Jack.

Neal Tue, 05 Sep 2006 00:35:09 +0000 http://www.missmalaprop.com/mississippi-gulf-coast-one-year-later/#comment-29 Congratulations on a most interesting Site - I'm a freelance photojournalist based in Clinton, Mississippi - I've begun my own grass-roots initiative to get the word out about the unprecedented scale and scope of the monster storm named Katrina - I actually added related content to my Site back in November of 2005, creating a section devoted to the impact of Katrina on Mississippians....since all the media attention seemed ( and remains ) primarily focused on New Orleans - Any interested parties may view what I call "Katrina's Wake" on my non-commercial website at http://www.jackneal.net/editorial.htm - I would encourage any and all interested parties to check out the editorial and photographs ( shot right after the storm ), and to further consider adding a comment or two to the Katrina Memorial Book on page 2 of "Katrina's Wake" Like you, I consider New Orleans a second home, and am troubled deeply at all the petty politics and finger pointing that has delayed recovery. We'll all get there together, assuming we can stop the BS about who or what might have caused the disaster that befell South Louisiana and coastal Mississippi - I've ranted and raved about this already on the MSNBC website, so this may be somewhat repetitive for you and your readers. Anyway, let us stop the fighting about the past and look forward together to re-build....together - Yes, it sounds cliché by now, but no less relevant. Thanks again for the good work you do for indie's, and let me also congratulate "Traveling Mermaid" for her great website - It's all that a Site ( in my opinion ) should be...clean, concise, and sophisticated...really well done - You're all some really talented people. By the way, and obviously off-topic, I make artisan soaps ( yes, I know I'm a strange guy ) - Do I need to talk to you or your readers about marketing of the same? - I'm currently working on a website specific to the same - I'd appreciate any feedback, and thanks again.

I couldn't agree with you more. i grew up in Long Beach, then moved to Biloxi. It's still shocking to see the places I grew up with.. gone. “It’s weird to drive down the beach at home now…”

It must have been terrifying for you! My heart is with MS also as I grew up in central MS. I well remember Camille - I was 9 yrs old - and my dad (who worked for the power co) spent about 6 weeks there working on the power lines. He's been retired for several years but went back to work to help with the power failures in central MS after Katrina.(He knows every dirt road in Winston, Nashoba and surrounding counties!) May I say I just love your website! I am so excited to have found someone with so much knowledge of indie artists and businesses. Would love to do an online interview with you for my blog! Think about it. :) Oh my! It must have been terrifying for you! My heart is with MS also as I grew up in central MS.
