Mary and Flag

Driving through the 9th ward, looking to see what had been done since i left last week, I came accross this scene in late morning harsh light. I usually would not take out the camera, but I had to take this photograph. The Flag appears brand new, and filled me with emotion as I stood before this church in the middle of hell.

Presumably the statue was rescued from the church? It's nice that such things can be placed in the open and not vandalised. Maybe disaster on this scale transcends petty vandalism.

On the technical front, I have no experience of view cameras but I am assuming that some form of movement was involved that has kept the right side of the wall sharp and the left side soft?
