I was coming from an attempted vacation in Florida, where Katrina hit first as a Category 1 storm that soon fizzled out. But after an hour and a half of driving in evacuation traffic, I had only made it to Williams Boulevard. That mindset shaped me as I revived my porch photography studio and began taking portraits again. Even in decay, they carried life. Organic Watermarks began on my porch, but it became a lifelong reminder that even in decay, life continues.
