A lot of the time we were in New Orleans we were in the French Market, where it was easy to think that things were back to normal after the hurricane. Of course, this really is not true and it’s really apparent once you take even just a few steps out of the French Quarter. Even if you’re not seeing mass devastation, the signs are there in the details. For example, I saw this guy working on the Dunkin’ Donuts sign when I was leaving our hotel, which was just outside of the French Quarter. I thought a new Dunkin’ Donuts was opening. But when I went back to the hotel that night, the sign was completely gone. The store was closing. As were a lot of them.

Note: I discovered a bunch of unpublished photos from our trip to New Orleans back in December. I’ll be publishing those photos today.
