Reactions: This morning we walked to the St. Louis Cemetery. In contrast to the Greenwood cemetery that we visited a few days earlier, this cemetery was not as well kept. It caused me to able to feel more comfortable; it allowed me to get my hands dirty. We spent just under an hour shooting there and then moved on to have a picnic with the entire group at Audubon Park!
The picnic was in Audubon Park which is in a very nice neighborhood. Before we headed back on the street car we walked a few blocks and took a few photographs of the homes in that area.
The last part of the day was spent shooting near one of the levees by Lake Pontchartrain. We encounter with a house that was deserted after Katrina. It almost looked like all the belongings were put into a giant basket and then dumped upside down. Where ever it landed it stayed and so there it stood 30 months later. The infamous "mold" that I had heard about was scattered across their bedroom and living room walls; everything was cover with dirt. With the back walls missing, a blue bedroom was exposed. It was filled with all the toys a young boy would ever want or need; it caused me to realize that a family once called it home. You wonder what happened to this family and only hope that they all survived the devastation that their house did not.
