The New Orleans Kid Camera Project Christopher (age 11) muses on an abandoned bicycle tire in a tree. Alexandra (age 14) finds beauty in a ray of light on gravel. Erica (age 9) thinks about joy. And Lawrence (age 11) focuses his camera on the Mardi Gras Indians. Children are often the most able to find beauty in decay, especially after disasters seem to destroy everything that was once beloved. This project aims to help children from New Orleans express themselves using cameras, creative writing, and mixed media. What results is a powerful and emotional story of recovery. (in Photography)
