Claire Orth stands in the once inviolate privacy of her own bedroom. What you see left is the ravages of Hurricane Katrina and the floodwaters of the 17th Street levee in New Orleans. She works tirelessly, and mostly alone, to restore her home and normalcy in her life. Photograph by Robert McLaughlin.

Is this a home you are going to renovate or just an abandoned place? nice in b&w.
This home belongs to Claire Orth, the lady you see in the photo. She is restoring her own home and currently lives in a FEMA trailer in her backyard. I originally shot the photo in color, but then converted it to B&W and adjusted the curves.
