Was there a camera store (Moldaner's) about 100 feet away from Camellia Grill? That is the only photography shop left in New Orleans (the city of) since the storm. It has since moved closer to Tulane University, replacing Maple Street Camera (the second to last photography shop in the city).
I was hoping to drive down to the south shore line to see what has become of it since the oil spill (which is now the size of Puerto Rico), but the sheriffs down there don't want any pictures taken. A fellow biology professor tried two days ago and they ran her out. They ran me out several years ago for trying to photograph herons near an oil refinery in Venice. Rough times for photographers since it is now so easy to post images on the web. Anyone with a camera is seen as a threat. Jeffery On May 1, 2010, at 1:58 PM, Daniel J.
