Description A street artist set up at the north end of Jackson Square in New Orleans' French Quarter.

Note: I've changed the photo a little better. I'm into the sans serif thing for the time being. I'm kicking myself for not saving a PSD of my original frame work - that would have made tweaking this easier on myself...

Strange that it's in a French Quarter... because I actually thought it was Paris you'd shot there.
How odd are these products of colonisation, with culture that actually falls little way from it's parent country.

Nice shot, too

I think I saw that guy there when I was in New Orleans back in May of 2004 for my brothers graduation from Tulane.

yanno, that is an /identical/ scene to one on Piccadilly in London near Green Park. Even with the same style fence and trees. Next time I go past I'll take a shot.

dygel In reply to paullomax [2005-04-07 16:28:01 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah. I'm sure it's not at all unique. After all, New Orleans is one of the most "old world" like cities in the US.

I was sliding through and I KNEW that looked familiar.

I'm going to college here in New Orleans at Loyola University and just about the past 200 pics I've put up have dealt with the New Orleans area.

Pretty neat man.

I love this photograph almost as much as the art he's selling! Very nice picture, the colors are great.

I'll agree with that ..



I'd definately be induced to buying one of those if I 'twas walking by .. that is, if the price was right.



(And by saying "the price was right", it better be dirt-cheap.)



Nice shot -- I like the fact that you got the back of 'em .. sort of saying, "Hey, you can't see my face .. just like you can't tell who I am by looking at my paintings" .. or something.

No, I wasn't shopping for art. I might have considered it if I weren't already spending fat stacks of cash on the tip anyhow. Maybe the next time around...

Oh, my wife and I are definately interested in going back. There's other places we want to visit first. We're booked for travel through July already (my parents' place in May, vacation on the Gulf Coast at the end of June), and we want to go visit Toronto at some point in the near future too.

Still, we'll head back, and maybe we'll have a bit more coin to rub together when we do go.

Congrats!!! How long has it been?

I've been at that spot, across from Jackson square, isn't it? Great composition and nice shot

dygel In reply to melko [2004-04-02 21:14:05 +0000 UTC]

Yup. I think you met Kristen while you were here in Chambana last, if only briefly. Man, that was a while ago. I think I was drunk at that party, telling whomever would listen that I would eventually marry that girl. A self-fulfilling prophecy, perhaps?

Kristen and I got engaged last summer and we had a small, quiet wedding in Crystal Lake Park in Urbana on 29 Feburary. We are still intending to have a more formal ceremony and reception during the summer of 2005, but there are a number of reasons why it was advantageous for us to get married sooner rather than later: she'll get in-state residency next year, better financial stabilty for us, etc. etc.

As for the photo, yeah. That's right off Jackson Square. Just to the north of it, actually, by the cathedral. I believe I was standing on the corner of Chartres and St. Louis as I took this.
