Here’s a very stylish slide show of the deserted streets of the French Quarter and other nearly deserted downtown ‘nabes just before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina. It’s touristic but worth a look. The photos are not news or “newsy” — they’re “arty” portraits rather than journalistic — yet they offer specific information and bring the scenes alive. And there must be 200 of them.
