Ten years ago, Hurricane Katrina made landfall along the Gulf Coast. While the storm's wrath was felt throughout the Southeast, the iconic images associated with the hurricane show a great American city submerged: New Orleans.

At least 1,100 people died as a result of the hurricane, though the exact figure isn't known and could be much higher. In the year after Katrina, the suicide rate in New Orleans tripled.

A decade later, neighborhoods have been rebuilt, the damage paved over. And while the city still struggles with issues of economic and racial disparity, what has been accomplished is a testament to the resilience of the Crescent City.

Mashable sent a photographer to New Orleans to capture then and now.
