" these days, without some love, you're fucked"
I photographed Paia and the people that gravitated to us for three years in New Orleans. I met Paia in 1997 at Hunter
College in New York City. She was on a student exchange program from the University of Washington for 2 semes-
ters. After weeks of saying what's up in the hallways, she walked up to me and asked if I smoked. I went to her room
that night to smoke and didn't leave till the school year was over. Something we shared was a traumatic childhood, she
had lost her father and I lost my mother. In 2006 about six months after hurricane Katrina, we got married and
moved to New Orleans to witness and be a part of the rebuilding…. We met people and had experiences that changed our lives.
