"It was shocking to drive around old New Orleans and see certain streets barricaded, some closed with barbed wire.  The day I was there was hot and sunny, as it had been for weeks.  Not a soul was to be seen, the only noise came from passing cars on the nearby expressway.

     As can be seen, I made numerous changes from photographs in an attempt to capture what the scene could have looked like just days after passage of the storm."      Rolland Golden
