In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Detective Sam DeGrave, Día De Los Muertos, Raoul Minot and an M4 Mini.
- In Piecing Life Back Together After Helene, One Mud-Splattered Photo at a Time (gift link), Christina Morales describes how Detective Sam DeGrave scavenged family photos from destroyed homes for people who lost everything. Photos by Mike Belleme. Morales writes:
Detective DeGrave had been interested in photography since he was a child and always admired the moments people chose to capture. He turned his police car into a makeshift photo studio, where he bagged the pictures and labeled them with descriptive details to help organize them. He recruited other officers to the cause and eventually they gathered about 300 photographs.
