Color photograph of a truck in front of a gas station with graffiti warning. Jane Fulton Alt, a Chicago photographer and social worker, spent two weeks in New Orleans in November as a counselor through the program sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Alt provided assistance and counsel to lower Ninth Ward residents returning to their homes in the city's Look and Leave program. While careful not to intrude on residents' privacy, Alt felt compelled to document the landscape of devastation and loss the hurricane left behind. Personal items such as a shoe, family photos or clothes hanging from a tree become poignant reminders of the individual losses the people of the region have suffered.Acquisition
