Between Hurricane Katrina and the recession, New Orleans has had a rough decade; 'Deserted Homes' by Sigal Ben David is a photo set that captures the abandoned abodes in NOLA in stark detail.
There's a sense of sadness that pervades 'Deserted Homes' by Sigal Ben David. In clicking through these shots, I think of the families that once lived there, the memories made on that plot... and then I wonder where they are now. Do you have the same reaction?
