St. Ann Swirl
No...I'm not done with New Orleans, and I fear she's not done with me. I spent six weeks there, and I was certainly inspired by the architecture, the spirit, the art. I spent an afternoon on Royal St and wandered in and out of art galleries. I enjoyed several artists, and this photograph was inspired by them, as every artist interprets the beauty and mystery of the French Quarter differently.
Artist Portrait
One of the last galleries I stepped into was the Michelle Elmore Gallery. She's a fantastic photographer, and I admire that she does everything through film, with no editing. She has a great self-portrait, and seeing it invoked an excitement within myself to shoot a self-portrait. I had written a list of artists I found and liked that day on my hand, so truly, this one goes out to you, New Orleans...
