Restoring Hope {Louisiana
State University}
August 2008 Donn Young has been a photographer for
most of his life; never guessing 35 years of his professional work would be lost in a storm. Three years ago, Young's New
Orleans' studio sat under ten feet of water invited by Hurricane Katrina. Young returned to his studio four weeks after the storm, the room scattered with original
photos, prints, negatives, and awards all under a dark film of dirt and mold. His collection of more than one million photographs—ranging
from Daniel Farrow to Ronald Reagan—gone.
Lady Luck {Louisiana State University} This is College, right? {NY Times Contest}
September 2007 When I told my dad I was applying to LSU, he had one thought. "You
know they were the number one party school a few years ago, right?" I knew. However, what the Princeton Review had to say about colleges was not on my high-school radar. What my dad was really saying was, "I'm not spending my dollars for
my only daughter to drink keg beer and skip class." College, as our parents see it, is a replay of Animal House, a daze of protests, booze, and maybe a few
classes. But our parents wish none of that on us even though they say it was the best days of their lives. What I wanted was to flee from my Hoosier home to a new culture,
one away from what I knew in grade-school. LSU was my ticket out.
