I’m finally getting started on editing my photos from my trip to New Orleans earlier this year. One of the highlights of the trip was my visit to Mardi Gras World – the studio, storage, and display area for the company that creates many of the incredible floats for all the Mardi Gras Parades. Their warehouse is a photographer’s paradise – colors, shapes, characters and as much time as you want to spend photographing them.
Here are a few of my photos from Mardi Gras World (I’ll share more of them next Monday).
