This series was part of a project - "A Sense of Place" with Arthur Meyerson. Nearly six years after Hurricane Katrina, many of the original 9th Ward residents have returned to rebuild their homes despite opposition by the New Orleans City Council. The city would prefer to let the 9th Ward remain a "green area" rather than have it repopulated.
Great collection of images that tell a story of a community and a people. While you show hints of the devastation, you emphasize the hope and joy of new beginnings.
