New Orleans

New Orleans Photography

A collection of images of New Orleans, known to some outsiders as the Big Easy. This was my home for five years an a place I grew very attached to. Living in Uptown New Orleans, I became a perpetual tourists, immersing myself in all the city had to offer. This included the French Quarter, the festivals, the leafy avenues with antebellum era / colonial homes. It’s a city that very much embraces and holds tightly onto its traditions.
