The Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans: Vestiges Of A Neighborhood, Adam N. Hess

Adam N Hess

The Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans: Vestiges of a Neighborhood is a photo-documentary of the remnants of one of America’s most unique and culturally distinct neighborhoods.

All that remains of the community that once occupied the Lower Ninth are the dilapidated buildings, the crumbling homes, and the small possessions left behind.

For the past three years I have explored the Lower Ninth Ward, discovering the remains of a community rich in tradition, family, and religion. Through the use of black and white photographs and …

The Evolution Of A Tourist Landscape: Wet Plate Collodion Photographs Of The Wisconsin Dells In The Twenty-First Century, Nick Olson

Lawrence University Honors Projects
