Jim Reedy again, momentarily stunned by the flash.
Here are the photos from Friday's "Hurricane Katrina" flashmob at Old Town in NYC. Ok, two problems - first of all, I got a new digital camera and I have no idea what all of the various buttons do, which explains the lousy quality of the photos. (It took me six shots before I realized I needed to turn the flash on.) Secondly, I was wearing my new contact lenses, which are lousy, which means that after taking the picture, I could not see how they looked on the LCD screen.
But that's all beside the point. The point was that a good time was had by all.
Darren Isabelle is now living in Houston, where he is working with a faith-based organization helping evacuees from New Orleans.
Neilan Tyree is still living in New Orleans, but doing a lot of work for clients in NY, so he's here quite frequently.
Both of them were VERY fortunate in that their homes escaped virtually unscathed by the hurricane. So the message they wanted to convey to everyone was that they are in GREAT shape, even if the city is not.
