Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Katrina The End of the World New Orleans by Cedric Faimali  -   Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans at the end of August 2005.  Cedric Faimali captured the scenes of devastation in the following weeks.  Here he presents his own landscapes of the abandoned parts of the Lower Ninth Ward, interspersed with photographs that he found floating in the flood-water - ghostly images of some of the families whose lives were smashed apart. Photo album found in the remains of a house in the lower ninth ward of New Orleans. The polluted water, in which the album was submerged for several weeks, damaged the photos.
