3. Spoiled by Tom Varisco

Found this little book (4x6, 20-ish photos across 40-ish pages) in a shop on Royal. I’d been seeing the remnants of hand painted signs of dissent, distress, and warning on buildings and plywood around the city when I randomly can across this book of photography. From its brief intro:
Most residents could not return to their homes for at least three weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit. They found their homes without power and their refrigerators filled with spoiled food. Most refrigerators were placed outside for pick up and disposal.

Graffiti ensued. And Tom documented it.
Do some armchair rebuilding, your 12 bucks + $1.50 shipping well-spent here:
