News Orleans - One of the Best Cities in America for Photography

        New Orleans is one of the best cities in America to photograph. Its long history and cultural diversity can be seen in everything from its people, to its businesses and buildings. This above back and white photograph of the New Orleans’ Skyline was taken from across the Mississippi River. The other black and white cityscape of New Orleans was shot from the top of one of its skyscrapers. Notice the Super Dome in the background.



        While in New Orleans, my family and I stopped at Saint Louis Cathedral near Jackson Square. As we got there, it started to rain and as I looked over I caught what I thought was an interesting picture. In the photograph, notice the businesslike priest (?) in the center of the photograph and the lady and man on the right and left sides. All are busy on their cell phones. Then, notice the older gentleman in the background on the electric scooter in the "try Chai" shirt sans cell phone. Whether his message is "try Life" or whether he means "try spiced tea or yogi tea" (claimed to nourish the body, mind and spirit), what was clear is that he was free-wheeling and had no urgency or need to talk with anyone at the moment.


        The colorful photograph above is the Shops at Jax Brewery New Orleans photographed from the Mississippi River side. At the Shops, you can enjoy food, shopping, people watching, or just relaxing at this converted 110 year old brewery across from Jackson Square and next to Cafe Du Monde.
