      Thank you. This is a scan of a film print from 2005, the weekend that Katrina struck New Orleans. I was not yet using digital then. I raided my picture photo album, remembering that I had a photo of a thistle with this perspective. I'm happy it now has a fancy official name! Charlie Baxter Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

        Wow, good quality for a scan! It’s crazy that Katrina was so long ago already, it still feels so recent. Posted 2 years ago
