Recovered Photographs of Hurricane Sandy Relief

Hello everyone,

As I was preparing my gear to cover a story this coming weekend, I randomly decided to run one of my cards through a data recovery program. Lo and Behold, I found a batch of photographs (slightly chewed upon) from some work I did while volunteering with Occupy Sandy back in November. I pulled the survivors and figured I'd post them here.

Special shout out to Jo and Alaena for taking the journey with me to New York.
