Description

The day after Typhoon Ike made U.S. landfall at Galveston, Texas, photographer Bryan Carlile was once in a helicopter, working a service contract as a primary responder. He took with him a native Texan’s excellent memories of the Gulf Coast but brought back images that tell the sobering story of this huge and historic typhoon. 
 
After Ike includes a couple of hundred aerial photographs Carlile took of the Typhoon’s grim aftermath accompanied by Carlile’s eyewitness captions. In a few places, Carlile is in a position to show images from “before Ike” that bring home the magnitude of the changes wrought to both natural and human habitats. 
 
In a thoughtful, personal essay, Andrew Sansom, who was once raised at the Texas coast, reflects at the realities of living in “Typhoon Alley.”
