New Orleans on Film

shot on kodak portra 400

an afternoon parade turned our attention from watercolor paintings and beignets to bustling streets and saxophones.

three men raise a glass to my camera as they poke fun at new orleans night life.

a couple lounges with drinks beside a strip club as tourists and locals smother their personal space with shoulder bumps and smoke.

two girls relieve their legs for a moment to pay for drinks while a man anticipates partiers at an empty bar.

having just entertained a rowdy dance circle, a group of boys contemplate their evening plans.

a man nods off in his chair, a woman waits for her date, an artist continues his show, a couple considers an array of cheerful drawings and poems.

golden hour consumes new and old paintings trapped against fences and concrete.

man checks texts on flip phone, man enjoys the view.
