NOTES
Almost There...
Well, getting closer to the end of my St. Louis Cemetery #1 project.
Well, getting closer to the end of my St. Louis Cemetery #1 project. I lingered a little longer than usual, realizing that I'm closer to the public closure date. Anyway, I'll keep this short because it's Lundi Gras and I have some partying to do.
If you're curious to see how the other photos look, I posted more HERE.
The photo directly below this is Nicholas Cage's ostentatious, pyramid tomb. It's actually pretty cool.
New Endings
A dramatic title for sure but it was the only one that described my feelings.
A dramatic title for sure but it was the only one that described my feelings. I started this photography project on St. Louis Cemetery #1 as a way to preserve the experience of my many visits. Right now, here in New Orleans, we're in the midst of our last week of Carnival, which also means we're nearer to the end of casual visits to my favorite cemetery.
This photography project is the first one that I've dedicated, planned and executed. It's a project that perhaps no one could care about except me but I'm proud of it. I think I've captured some beautiful, timeless images. Some time in March I will begin to methodically piece the photographs to share the story of the ruined beauty of a wonderful place. I hope the Archdiocese of New Orleans will be able to refurbish, clean and preserve St. Louis Cemetery #1 so others can be inspired by its architecture and timelessness.
