My Stroll through New Orleans

[nextelbuddy]

Went to New Orleans for my bachelor trip this past weekend and had a blast. spent some time walking around taking pictures trying to keep a creative mind open as well have the photo journalistic mindset.

First thing we did when we got there was walk Bourbon street. I think all of us being our first time there were over whelmed. It still amazes me everything that goes on there, what you can do and all of the possibilities.


I literally shot everything with my 50 1.4, never took my 85 out. I love this little lens.

The View when we first got there

Really enjoyed how a lot of street signs were made to look old 9or perhaps it just aged quickly due to the salt in the air from the ocean)

you know it!

we definitely saw some bad areas when we were looking for a home depot (thats another story about repairing a hole in the wall at our rental lol)

the home depot was like fort knox, right in the ghetto with huge walls surrounding it and police crowd control stands in the parking lot lol. and it was a brand new home depot all nice and shit.


awesome pictures. makes me want to go.

it was definitely a great traveling experience and i would recommend it to anyone. great culture and lots to do and see.


nice PIC

thanks!


I was born and raised there. Some places are ok some are horrible

you can say that again!


very nice shots sir...

thanks very much!


your pictures make it seem a lot cooler than it was when i went.

tourist pictures seem to have that effect lol. i tried to give it some realism with the street shots of the homeless.


I love your pics man.

appreciate it, photowalks are very fun to do. i have so many that i didn't post that are just snap shots and at the time seem like they wil be better than what they really are.

[Sammich]

pics are awesome...i wanna go

[masanomi3]

Don't get me wrong that place is awesome...Depending on what part your in. If you ever get a chance try to go to mardi gras. Just make sure you don't walk to far or you will see more dicks then chicks.

[cactusEG]

Great pics ! I like the last one best

[KevinT707]

I like your style. It gives me some new ideas, thanks!
