The Big Easy, Nawlins, The Crescent City

"New Orleans took a part of me....and I don't even want it back"

-Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine (Jazz Fest 2012)

I was BLOWN AWAY by New Orleans!  I have never been to a place quite like it. It was muggy and dirty and unique and brilliant! I didn't have my camera with me everyday throughout my four day adventure, but when I did have it I was shooting like a madman (or madwoman, rather).  Some of my favorite aspects of this city: food, music, art, passion!

The city truly has an energy different from any other.

Random musicians, dancers, or performers on every corner.

Art on the streets and walls.

FOOD in every direction you look!

I had an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this city to anyone!  However, something that you have to understand is that I had the absolute BEST tour guides.  My main man, Alan, and his wonderful mother, Patricia, were bound and determined  to make sure I saw EVERYTHING physically possible in the short time we were there. They were absolutely amazing and they made my Nawlins experience one for the record books!  Thank you to everyone (Wop, Harold, Mercedes, Jacob, Marty, Peanut, Frog, Captain James...the list goes on and on) who made my trip amazing!  

Shoot ya Later :)
