View PostCafeDuMondeTheOriginal, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. So, today there was this story, with two pictures in the paper, about how Cafe Du Monde re-opened and is once again serving up beignets in the French Quarter. One…
View PostCoolWindowNo3, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. Sometimes, when you take pictures, in order to really evaluate them, you cannot let sentimentality get in the way. Sure, we all love grandkids but that doesn’t mean your baby…
View PostYellowHouseGreenDoorNo2, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This is from, where else, but the French Quarter. I really like the way this one prints, so I’ll probably include it in the New Orleans series. It actually prints…
View PostStPhilipAndRoyal, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This shot was taken on the corner of St. Philip and Royal Streets, hence the name. I like sneaking signs into my shots-it makes for easier captioning later on. I…
View PostGreyShutters, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This was an early morning shot, taken in the French Quarter, before the flood. I’ve decided that my New Orleans, “straight” series will be titled “Before the Flood” because I…
View PostPinkAndGreenBuilding, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This building looks so pretty to me, with the soft colors and the crumbling facade of a pink wall. This is one of the few balconies that I look at…
View PostBalconyAbstracts, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This one is pretty obvious. It’s the French Quarter in it’s French Quarterly way of looking so French (and, I suppose, ‘quarterly,’ whatever that may be.) Makes you almost wonder…
View PostBalconyAndStreetLamp, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This is a shot taken from my latest series, the “straight” New Orleans series. These are mostly lensbabies, but some “straight” photography thrown in for good measure. Don’t worry, they…
View PostBusStoponDumaine, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. Happy Friday! This one was taken at night in New Orleans. It’s actually what I call a “hidden” photo. Sometimes, when you have a lot of work, you start to…
View PostEleWRedBlanket, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. I heard a joke the other day on the radio, “I could sleep through an elephant wearing clogs dancing through my bedroom at night.” That’s pretty true for me as…
View PostJacksonSquare, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This image was shot almost exactly where the President stood when he addressed the nation regarding Hurricane Katrina. It’s a manipulated Polaroid print taken from a still photo I had…
View PostBalconyWSky, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This is an interesting image. It’s interesting to me because I made a mistake when it first came out, and was able to “fix” it in Photoshop. You’d never know…
View PostFanBalcony, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This weekend was an interesting weekend. For starters, instead of getting hurricane force winds, rain, Texas twisters, and the like, it was 107 in the shade, very hot and dry.…
View PostJust a quick note to say that family, friends, and all have survived hurricane Rita. In fact, it did not pass anywhere NEAR us and now I’m quite bummed that I shall have to put…
View PostGearsNo1, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. It’s Friday! Yippie! We have survived another week. Long live Fridays. This weekend, I’m going to, once again, try to finish off my Polaroid series. If the power doesn’t go…
View PostWiresNo1, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. So, hurricane Rita has taken a bit of a turn in the Gulf and is now headed more towards Houston and Corpus than originally planned. Current forecasts have it making…
View PostPresHallWhiteCat, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This is the last of the images from Preservation Hall. While we were photographing the building across the street, this little white cat came along. I was lucky enough to…
View PostPresHallJazzBand, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. This is probably my favorite from the series. I think this looks closest to the painterly look I was going for, not to mention the entire band is in the…
View PostPresHallJazzBand4, originally uploaded by carolWorldLeader. It’s getting hot in here and, like, I’m not Nelly so I’m not willing to take off all my clothes. This weekend, I came into work on Saturday, to finish…
