After the Flood
After the Flood | Robert Polidori
2 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
New Yorker photographer Robert Polidori traveled to New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina to record the destruction. His photos documenting the paradoxically beautiful wreckage are mementos for those who could not return-mapping their lives through the remains of their belongings and their homes.

Katrina was an #americanhorror that effected our family. The photos in this amazing book still haunt me.

GypsyKat My name is Katrina, and when Hurricane Katrina hit I was working in a call center. The rule there was that you had to answer the phone using your real first name, no nicknames etc. After three people burst into tears at the sound of my name, I got special permission to answer the phone as “Kat” from then on. 😕 5y
Cinfhen Book looks amazing but I‘m sure the photos are devastating 😔 5y

Mdargusch Very sad @Cinfhen and the images in my head of what the city and surrounding area looked like when @emilyhaldi moved back 4months later will be with me forever. 5y
GypsyKat @Mdargusch It definitely left an impression. It was such a sad time for so many people. 5y
Billypar I'm always amazed at how much can be communicated through a well- photographed image. I can definitely see how it could take you right back to a horrific event like Katrina. 5y
emilyhaldi And I just found the photo album of all the photos we took after coming back to the city!🙃 5y
Mdargusch I was wondering where those photos were @emilyhaldi 5y

The people of New Orleans had very little #higherground to seek during and after Katrina. This huge coffee table book captures moments from the flooding that are poignant and haunting. #getmovin
