Photos from the Road

I used to do a lot of traveling and photographing. For many places, I really don’t have enough photo to do separate blog posts – so thought I’d start combining photos from various places into a series of photos from the road. Hope you enjoy seeing the scenes from some of my travels.

Music (and Dancing) In the Streets

Music (and Dancing) In the Streets

One of things I love to do in New Orleans is just walk around and listen to the music. Especially it the French Quarter – it seems like there is another set of wonderful musicians playing in the streets around every corner. And sometimes you come across people dancing to the music.

Here are some of my photos of New Orleans Street musicians

Street Art in Faubourg Marigny Neighborhood

Street Art in Faubourg Marigny Neighborhood

On a walk through New Orleans’ Faubourg Marigny neighborhood a few years ago, I found myself photographing the unexpected art I was seeing – whether it was what some might call grafitti to murals to painting around a store entrance. Here are some of my favorite photos from my walk.

Details in the French Quarter of New Orleans

Details in the French Quarter of New Orleans

Sometimes when I’m walking around a city like New Orleans –  I just wander with my camera in hand, photographing whatever catches my eye. When I get back and look at my photos for the day, sometimes I’ll see that a theme as emerged in my photos of the day. All of these photos came from a walk in the French Quarter where I seemed to be focusing on architectural details.

Seen in New Orleans’ Garden District

Seen in New Orleans’ Garden District

While I’m here at home during the pandemic, I’m taking the opportunity to sort through and edit some of the many unweeded photos on my hard drive. The photos I’m currently working on were taken in New Orleans in 2017 These are some of the photos I took walking around the garden district.

Detail of the famous corn fence (and not the story about a women missing the corn fields isn’t true – the fence was available through a catalog)
