One Month Later

My first post of Mardi Gras 2015 photos. 

It's been a month since Mardi Gras. This is my first post of photos from March 17, 2015. The day, the entire season was overwhelmingly wonderful. So much that I've barely had anything to drink since. My typical fun nights had been food, some booze and music, which is all out of my system due to Carnival. My entire existence has been consumed by photography since.

I didn't take many photos during Mardi Gras because of how much there was to photograph (I kinda short circuited) and it was my first one. I wanted to really enjoy every bit of it without a camera slung around my neck. I broke my seemingly weightless Fujifilm x100s and carrying around a bulky, expensive DSLR just seemed like a bad idea. 

If you were in New Orleans, I hope you had a great time and if you weren't, I hope you didn't freeze to death.

Chaos and Muses

Parade revelry at its best. (In case you missed the flurry of my Instagram posts...)

Last night I stumbled through the parades on St. Charles. It was a long, eventful, fun walk through  a bedlam of mass revelry, debauchery and fun. My opinion of parades has always varied, most of the time, I'm not too crazy about it but then there's New Orleans and no city puts on parades like this one. 

If you weren't privy to my burst of Instagram photos last night, here are the highlights. 

All photos made with the iPhone 6.
