An exploration into New Orleans forgotten spaces, revealing haunting beauty and hidden histories.
Step into a hidden world as NOLADEEJ invites you on a journey through the forgotten, decaying corners of the New Orleans area. Since 2016, NOLADEEJ has been captivated by these abandoned spaces, driven by a deep passion for history and a desire to uncover the untold stories behind their walls. Through his haunting photos, this book offers readers a rare opportunity to see inside places that few dare to explore, unveiling the beauty, mystery, and sadness of structures left behind by time and nature.
From the eerie remains of once—bustling hospitals and nursing homes to the haunting silence of a naval base and a theme park overtaken by nature, each location reveals a tale of life, abandonment, and decay. You’ll descend into the basement morgue of a hospital submerged for over sixteen years, and witness the haunting, overgrown remains of Six Flags New Orleans, a theme park closed for Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and never reopened.
With these images and stories, this book captures the delicate balance between human creation and nature's reclamation, inviting readers to step into the final chapter of these forgotten places before they vanish, taking their histories with them forever.
