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)
