Photographer Heather Green lived in New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina ‘blew her north’ to St. Louis. Although she now lives elsewhere, her lovely collection of New Orleans photos retain the city’s atmosphere and Cajun beauty.

New Orleans is not a Cajun city, and has had minimal Cajun influence compared to other areas in South Louisiana. New Orleans evolved as a port city, originally populated by continental (and frequently urban) French, Spanish, and ambitious early Americans, followed by Carribean émigrés and lots of immigrant groups (especially Irish, Germans, and Italians).
In contrast, Cajuns were rural French-Canadian farmers expelled from Canada by the British. The Cajun culture is distinct from the Creole culture of New Orleans, despite some overlapping origins in France.
