Levee, late afternoon
I had one chance to get this shot before the gentleman walked out of the frame, and I barely made it. He was walking pretty fast, probably to escape photographers…

Shop Window
The shop was closed when I went by, which is a shame: that assortment of things in the window was very interesting.

Preserver
This Navy ship was in port the entire time I was in New Orleans for a conference. On my very last night in town, right after I made this shot, I found out the name of the ship – the Kearsarge. THEN, when I looked it up, I found out that there have been several previous Kearsarges, including one whose name was changed to the Hornet. My father-in-law served aboard the Hornet in the 1950s.
And, so it seemed like everything came full circle, right there beside the Mississippi River.

Wizard of Magazine Street
Some important things here:
- In New Orleans, sno-cones are called sno-balls.
- This was taken on the corner of Constantinople Street and Magazine Street. Anyone who’s read A Confederacy of Dunces (which I hope is most of you)(seriously)(get a copy today) will recognize Constantinople Street as the home of Ignatius J. Reilly.
- How cool is it that there are two Zs in the title of this post?
