South Carolina was declared a State of Emergency this week as a huge snow storm came through. Last night, the SC National Guard rolled into town to help transport hospital workers to and from work. It was surreal to see Humvees and soldiers in downtown Greenville. And, as I started to think about it, it was the first time I had photographed National Guard units deployed locally. I have photographed the Guard many times, but usually as they leave or return from the war. These are a few of my favorites.

Mary Mujahid, right, who was evacuated to Greenville from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, sits with her granddaughter Granda Welch, left, and Granda’s daughter Terri Lynn Hicks at Mary’s new home in Greenville on Thursday, August 26, 2010.

I was sent to shoot the amazing story of this family on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Both grandmother and granddaughter survived and eventually made it out of the hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, but they had very different experiences. Even five years later, emotions of gratitude and anger were running high.

This week temperatures dropped extremely low here in South Carolina. I was interested in finding out what people in our community who don’t have heat and/or shelter do in the colder weather. I found that one of our local ministry shelters opens their gym when temps reach below 40 degrees. So, I pitched the story and then went to hang out there one evening. It was a pretty eye-opening experience.

Today, we had terrible rain all day and we watched as the rivers and creeks continued to rise. After shooting all afternoon, this frame was one of the last ones I shot. I loved the raging waterfall, but also the movement of the umbrella and the slight silhouette of the woman holding the umbrella.
