Description
New Orleans: February 2010. Super Bowl Week.
It wasn’t about football–it was about a city and the glue that binds together our pothole-ridden home: the people.
This is a photo story that captures one week in time: the days leading to Super Bowl Sunday, and the hours following the Saints victory.
It’s a story that epitomizes the soul of New Orleans–when people convened in the cemeteries to celebrate with their lost ones . . . when people from around the world stood side by side with the locals in the French Quarter, chanting the “who dat” anthem and boasting the black and gold . . . a time when grown men cried.
