I don't know what kind of photos will be done of the disaster of the Queensland floods earlier this year. I haven't really looked on Flickr. But one model is Richard Misrach's work in Destroy this Memory, which is a representation of post-Katrina New Orleans.

In the images of destroyed cars and homes and storefronts Misrach captures, among other things, the hurricane-inspired graffiti: messages scrawled in spray paint, crayons, chalk, or whatever materials happened to be on hand. At turns threatening, desperate, clinical, and even darkly humorous, the phrases he captured—the only text that appears in the book—offer revealing human perspectives on the devastation and shock left in the wake of this disaster.

All of the images are shot with a 4 MP pocket camera while the photographer was working on a separate archive of over 1,000 photographs with his 8 x 10 large-format camera. In this video Misrach talks about his work:

The back cover of Destroy this Memory depicts a boarded window posing that question acutely—“WHAT NOW?” And so we come to a quintessentially political question: What is to be done?
