NOTES
The Happiest Day of the Year is Followed by its Saddest
In case you feel like reliving the celebrations.
...I'm exaggerating, of course, but the post-Mardi Gras blues is real.
Only 348 more days until Mardi Gras 2018.

A short walk through Treme
Dreamy vignettes from a long ago sleep.
It's been strange to see tour guides coming through here with a gaggle of tourists on Segways or bikes. Although I moved to New Orleans just this last July, I've been familiar with the neighborhood for a while. If you've never been, it's a colorful area just outside of the French Quarter with a history of bringing up legendary local musicians and artists. It's colorful, bright and has a clear creative energy that runs through it.
I chose to go a black and white route with these photographs, which shows the neighborhood in a different light (no pun intended). It's not the best representation of Treme...it's actually a TERRIBLE one but I've been into the idea of making photographs of New Orleans that appear to look like vignettes from distant dreams during long, sleepy nights.
Most of these are barely in the area of Treme but I hope to return soon to get more of this beautiful neighborhood that also includes Louis Armstrong Park (seen below).
The Antiquated Charms of the French Quarter
A dreamy little set of black and white photos of the French Quarter.
I enjoy the dreamy quality of the French Quarter and how the modern world clashes with its antiquated appearance. I really need to do more of these studies.
There's probably a bit too many photos in this post but I hope that you enjoy them anyway.
