Great Shot: Stein

Amy Stein's interview with Making Room Magazine discussed one of her series of work called 'Stranded' in which she was inspired by Hurricane Katrina to photograph those who are stranded in between destinations and just caught in that feeling of having no able way to continue to move on their way. Her way of going out 'on the open road' and photographing/documenting the happenings of those who are stranded on the side of the road are moving. Her project in New Orleans where she scanned in people's photographs of times before Hurricane Katrina and how they were happy and were content before all their earthly possesions had passed away with the flood. I found her way of working very inspirational as she is inspired by events that have happened to America and the American people and then travels to capture these events. They are beautiful and inspiring!
