New Orleans Experience

10/25/07

I flew to New Orleans last week for a photoshoot. I was surprised at the broken-down state of the city as a result of Hurricane Katrina, and it's been two years. Tons of houses were still in ruins and many of the stores were still boarded up. I also noticed that about every eighth house had people outside working on it. Fifth wheels seem to be a popular housing substitute while the home owners are waiting for their homes to be rebuilt. I would love to go back soon and document some of the derelict buildings and see what becomes of them in a couple of years.
