An image taken a few days after Mardi Gras 2007, this mobile fancy dress was one of the costume highlights of Mardi Gras day. Here it stands with the Katrina markings, graffiti left by the National Guard on the wall behind. The two together illustrate the bizarre nature of New Orleans, a city of beautiful and disturbing contradictions. The print maintains the Polaroid format but at double the size.
