A lot of photos shown throughout this website are recovered from Hurricane Katrina. I’m grateful that I was lucky enough to have found them since others have lost everything. These photos are my memories of my accomplishments and the beautiful people I’ve met before/after Katrina. I’m proud to share them with you. I hope you enjoy them. – Colin B Tyler
