I have always loved looking at these very old photographs of my hometown of New Orleans ranging from the early 1900s to the 1940s. On a recent trip home, I spent a few days walking the streets with my wife Catherine, recreating the shots as closely as possible to show how, in some places, the city is still very much the same! All of the vintage photos are courtesy of shorpy.com.
