Getting Past Katrina

2009_029_016
As we close in on the sixth anniversary of Katrina, I noticed something today. Something very small, and maybe insignificant, but it struck me nonetheless. For the past three years I have had an automatically generated set on my Flickr stream called "Totally Random". Each day it randomly chooses a set of 12 images from the entire Flickr stream. Every single day of that entire three-year period there has been at least one image of Katrina and its aftermath. Today for the first time, not one of the 12 images shows a flooded street, a boarded-up building, a flooded car, a collapsed building.
