Last night we went out into the Lower 9th to take some photos. The beginning of “Destiny” is set here. It’s still really spooky on some streets out here. And people want to know what the hell we’re up to. As we stood out in the open air taking photographs, we were cruised by two guys in an SUV, their faces lit up by cell phones as they texted their soldiers: “WTF? Two crackers on the road taking pictures.” Then the soldiers: a dude and a kid on bikes. I started to get nervous. Would somebody pop a cap in us before we even got this thing off the ground? Or were they just kids bored on a cool night taking a ride?
