Hurricane Katrina survivor displays photos for 20th anniversary

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Photojournalist Clarence Williams is retelling the story of Hurricane Katrina through his own unique lens at this limited-time exhibit.

Williams was visiting family in New Orleans just as the storm was about to make landfall. He was rescued after several days, yet returned to capture photographs of the aftermath.

He is featuring these photos in a limited-time art show titled, "Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection."

The exhibit is located at the InLiquid Gallery at 1400 N American St. in Philadelphia's Olde Kensington neighborhood.

It will be open until September 27, 2025.

Also featured in the exhibit is Donald Camp, who traveled to New Orleans some years later and captured the faces of those affected by the storm.

At the center of the room, the poetry of Ursula Rucker waves on sheets unfurled from the ceiling. These powerful words flank the impactful photos for a moving experience.
