Steps to Nowhere: New Orleans 10 Years After Hurricane Katrina
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/steps-to-nowhere-new-orleans-10-years-after-hurricane-katrina.htmlPhotographer Sef Lawless captured abandoned homes, schools and amusement parks in the US city of New Orleans, which was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina 10 years ago. Then in 2005, about two thousand people died. Thousands of people were left homeless and forced to move. Those areas of the city where the African American population lived were most affected.
“The saddest shots are photos of detached empty stairs and foundations where houses used to be. I approached a group of men sitting on such things, and one of them pointed to the other and said that his house used to be here, ”says the photographer. "These steps lead to nowhere."
