Iconic photographer Mary Ellen Mark's "last assignment" was a commission to shoot photographs for Picture This: New Orleans, a CNN Money project marking the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's devastating impact on the city. The extraordinary photos, which were taken just a few weeks before she died in May, include this striking one of Octavia Books owners Tom Lowenburg and Judith Lafitte bookending their dog, Pippin.
"We were humbled to look into her lens that looked into us," Lowenburg recalled.
An exhibition of Picture This: New Orleans, is running through September 27 on Governors Island in New York City.
