Yes, even a dedicated b+w photographer can tell that sometimes an image has to be in color.

Like this one.

the singer

I was attending a conference in New Orleans that had an after-hours event. I went to that because I was lured in by the promise of two drink coupons. It had been a while since I’d gone to a conference and I’d forgotten that “free” drinks mean crappy beer or shitty wine. So that part didn’t really work out all that well.

But what kept me there was the entertainment, provided by some young and very talented students.

creeping damp

It was a gray and dreary day, which made this non-gray and non-dreary find all the more exciting.

that was not a new leak

Based on the amount of slick green moss and rotting leaves in the large puddle next to the leaky fire hydrant, I am going to make a wild guess that maybe the leak’s not something that just started earlier that same morning.

A Report from the Research Department*: Google street view from December of 2021 does not show a leak.

I was in New Orleans for work earlier this month. And of course I had a camera with me…

NOLA did not disappoint. It’s just full of interesting things to photograph, including this building on Annunciation Street.

(I lived in New Orleans for three years while I was in grad school. That was before I became a photographer, which is a real shame. And doubly so, since that master’s degree I just HAD to have isn’t even anything I ended up using.)  (Oh, well.) (That’s the way things go.)
