Alvaro's Katrina Photo Essay

Posted on September 10, 2005

Here is an interesting slideshow take by Alvaro who works at the Chateu Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans and was inside New Orleans during and after the storm. His photographs and descriptions show his initial hope that the city had not been hit too hard. This hope quickly dimmed as Alvaro found more and more structural damage. Alvaro then shows photos on days 2 and 3 as the water begins to rise in parts of the city where it had previously been dry. The photos also include the arrival of journalists into the city, damage caused by looters and the people stuck with no help at the Convention Center.
