Description

The day after Hurricane Ike made U.S. landfall at Galveston, Texas, photographer Bryan Carlile was in a helicopter, working a service contract as a first responder. He took with him a native Texan's good memories of the Gulf Coast but brought back images that tell the sobering story of this massive and historic storm.
After Ike includes more than one hundred aerial photographs Carlile took of the hurricane's grim aftermath accompanied by Carlile's eyewitness captions. In some places, Carlile is able to show images from ';before Ike' that bring home the magnitude of the changes wrought to both natural and human habitats.
In a thoughtful, personal essay, Andrew Sansom, who was raised on the Texas coast, reflects on the realities of living in';Hurricane Alley.'
