    Hi. Thanks I guess. Without captions these photographs lack context within your experience, rendering whatever slight meaning you seem to be grasping for as nothing more than a wispy snapshot of anywhere, like that wall art of local scenes you can find in any Mall. This could be Detroit.
    You can't simply take a picture of a ghost and call it a ghost.
    This statement is so vacuous that I cannot comment on its lack of connection.
    Yeah, it's 4 years since the levees broke.

    Captions not needed for those of us from NOLA. In case you did not know:
    1. The street signs are often stolen and replaced with hand made sign (Florida STreet sign)
    2. A hand made sign should not be outside of a school.
    3. The third pic is of an abandoned house. I may not know the address but I can travel a few miles and find you several more like that one.
    4. Concrete steps leading to nothing is self explanatory
    5. I STILL HAVE TRAILERS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

    Captions not needed for those of us from the city that care forgot.

    And, for the record, I care about New Orleans.
