Our Disaster Staff as Fine Art
If you’ve been on a disaster recovery project, you’ve met Dakotah West, Seth Shapiro, and Carol Chang. Whether working at the Office of Emergency Management days after the storm hit, organizing buses of volunteers from City Hall, or running our muck out operation from various parking lots in the Rockaways, they’ve been working hard since November. Which is why sometimes they need to take a break and blow off some steam. Last week they had a photoshoot on our new base, recreating famous pictures using our disaster tools. Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comments:
Washington Crossing the Delaware:
American Gothic:
The Birth of Venus
The Moon Landing:
The Creation of Adam:
Raising the Flag at Iwo Jima
Bonus image: Seth and Dakotah in gif form.
Want to help in the recovery? Sign up today, and say hi to Dakotah, Seth, and Carol for us!

They are all so creative it’s hard to choose. But I really like washington crossing the Delaware.

This is AMAZING – and so inspirational which is what art is all about. No favorite as they are all unique in their own right. Hopefully a curator from the MET or some other museum will see these…. you just never know!!

I have to agree with Rachel as they all look great and are incredibly funny and can’t make a choice on a favorite.
