Thanks for the ideas, John.
I've never been to New Orleans before, so I'm not quite sure what to
expect. My only exposure to it has been via TV & film, and we all know
how accurate those portrayals can be. (Though, if I do happen upon any
vampires or voodoo priests, I'll do my best to get documentary evidence.)
I'd really like to try capturing the essence of the city rather than the
parts that hit you over the head as a tourist. The architectural detail
is something I'd been contemplating, so I'm going to do a little reading
up on it in the meantime.
Thanks again!

French Quarter is de rigueur, but if you want to avoid "touristy",
perhaps concentrate on architectural detail & go for abstraction.
Examples (not my own, but conveys the kind of idea I'm thinking of:

I'm thinking take an inspiration from some recent PESOS from someone's
tour of the southwestern U.S. & a cycling trip to Italy.

So, it looks like I'll be going on a little road trip with a friend next
week, to New Orleans.
Anybody have any suggestions for where to go for photographic purposes?
("Hell" isn't an option. Sorry.)
I'd like to get interesting shots, rather than provide a vicarious
sight-seeing tour for potential viewers when I get back. So any
interesting places you may be able to point me to would be much
appreciated.
Thanks!
