Re visit to New Orleans

Three years ago I visited New Orleans one week after the Hurricane Katrina with two other students and a working photographer. A week ago I re-visited New Orleans on a positive note for a Women in Photojournalism Conference. It was an eerie feeling that brought back imagery and feelings from what I remembered during time of Hurricane Katrina. Seeing the people and places that were deserted and a disaster now alive and bustling with people was a stark change. Although it was a good feeling to actually see what New Orleans might have been like before the Hurricane, it was also sad to most areas have not changed back to normal. Please look back for current photos to be posted from New Orleans.
