Hurricane Katrina Aftermath Pictures
This is a Photo Diary of a Trip I took to New Orleans Halloween Weekend 2005. They are my personal photos that chronicle the damage caused to the city by Hurricane Katrina. This Weekend is the 2nd Anniversary of Katrina Hitting my former home, I thought it was an appropriate time to share them.
I lived in New Orleans from 2001-2005 while attending Tulane University.
Along with each picture I have included local works from local new orleans artists, many of which lost their homes, livelihoods, belongings, or even friends and loved ones. Many have since returned, to rebuild.
