This photo essay is a capture of time and space 15 months after Hurricane Katrina and the breaking
of two NOLA levees in August of 2005. The photographer traveled with his New Orleans family the
week of Thanksgiving through the Lower Ninth Ward, Midtown, St. Bernard Parish, and Uptown
documenting the conditions of places of worship, homes, and businesses.

In many instances, these photographs may serve as the only historical documentation of these areas
before demolition or reconstruction. We ask that our readers please visit New Orleans and experience
firsthand the process of a city in long-term recovery.
