The Ghost of New Orleans

"Something's Missing In The French Quarter"


These were taken on the streets of New Orleans a few weeks ago. It's really sad that such a musical city has yet to come back in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The emptiness that remains after one of the largest disasters in American history haunts these streets and echoes through the void that was once one of the greatest jazz scenes on the planet. My heart breaks for those who have returned only to find their once thriving music scene struggle to renew itself to it's former glory. I hope that one day we will see the reunion of lost talent that was and can dance down Bourbon St once again, but I fear that those days may be gone for good.
