I need those two Katrina photographs.

They were a matched pair. One showed Blacks "LOOTING", the other showed Whites "FORAGING FOR SUPPLIES". Needless to say, either caption would fit the other photo perfectly.

4. You may want the real story behing the pics and captions. Here....

The photographer who took the Getty/AFP picture, Chris Graythen, also posted the reasons behind his caption:
I wrote the caption about the two people who 'found' the items. I believed in my opinion, that they did simply find them, and not 'looted' them in the definition of the word. The people were swimming in chest deep water, and there were other people in the water, both white and black. I looked for the best picture. there were a million items floating in the water — we were right near a grocery store that had 5+ feet of water in it. it had no doors. the water was moving, and the stuff was floating away. These people were not ducking into a store and busting down windows to get electronics. They picked up bread and cokes that were floating in the water. They would have floated away anyhow.
