Mississippi and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. My friend and I drove along the Gulf Coast first in February 2006 to survey our hometowns of Long Beach and Escatawpa, Mississippi. Below: a house on the waterfront in Long Beach (top left), the remnants of the Treasure Bay Casino in Gulfport (top middle), and a storage truck in someone’s front yard in Pass Christian (top right). Bottom row: the broken cross of St. Francis Cabrini Catholic Church on Paris Avenue in New Orleans (bottom left, now the site of Holy Cross School), a bent palm tree on a windless day in Gulfport, Mississippi (bottom middle), and repairs beginning on the London Avenue Canal Levee in Gentilly, New Orleans (bottom right).
