Anotace knihy

The devastation of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina has been imprinted in our collective visual memory by thousands of images in the media and books of dramatic photographs by Robert Polidori, Larry Towell, Chris Jordan, Debbie Fleming Caffrey, and others. New Orleanians want the world to see and respond to the destruction of their city and the suffering of its people - and yet so many images of so much destruction threaten a visual and emotional overload that would tempt us to avert our eyes and become numb.In "The Color of Loss", Dan Burkholder presents a powerful new way of seeing the ravaged homes, churches, schools, and businesses of New Orleans. Using an innovative digital photographic technology called high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, in which multiple exposures are artistically blended to bring out details in the shadows and highlights that would be hidden in conventional photographs, he creates images that are almost like paintings in their richness of colour and profusion of detail.Far more intense and poetic than purely documentary photographs, Burkholder's images lure viewers to linger over the artefacts of people's lives - a child's red wagon abandoned in a mud-caked room, a moulding picture of Jesus - to fully understand the havoc thrust upon the people of New Orleans. In the deserted, sinisterly beautiful rooms of "The Color of Loss", we see how much of the splendour and texture of New Orleans washed away in the flood. This is the hidden truth of Katrina that Dan Burkholder has revealed.
