“With our attention trained once again on the Gulf Coast, we're contemplating the effect of disasters on the surrounding environs. Mario Tama, an award-winning photographer for Getty, has spent the last five years navigating the complex landscape of New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina — not only the devastation, but the reconstruction and spiritual resilience of its people. About the experience, Tama told the NYT Lens Blog, "Every news bone in my body says you have to go to New Orleans." If you don't get a chance to make that trip any time soon, you can make it to DUMBO to view these arresting images, which offer a fresh angle on an ever-growing body of cultural criticism.”

Umbrage Gallery says:
Mario Tama has captured powerful imagery from the most vital world events, including the earthquake in Haiti, conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, 9-11, and the funeral of Pope John Paul II. In addition to receiving numerous awards and honors, his Katrina photographs earned him the prestigious Cliff Edom’s New America Award at the NPPA Best of Photojournalism Awards.
