Artist Statement
The photographs of New Orleans are part of an ongoing series of urban landscapes that explore the relationship between man and nature. A native of the city, I started photographing its’ architecture in August 2004. I concentrated my efforts in lower and lower-middle income neighborhoods where the homes most accurately reflected the reality of life in New Orleans. There I documented a unique architecture slowly being demolished by poverty, neglect and weather. I returned to the city for the first time after Katrina in early October 2005, the day after the search for bodies was called off.  I re-photographed many of the same locations creating a series of before and after pictures as well as hundreds of new images. I continue to revisit the sites I've photographed previously in order to measure the changes that occur.
