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.
I was there a couple of years ago (3rd visit). There for a conference, no time on my own for
photography beyond grab shots on Bourbon St & environs. Which is basically a pleasant
enough amusement park. But what struck me as the "essence of the city" 2010 version
was the number of damaged and abandoned buildings that were relics of Katrina. Schools,
hospitals, homes, neighborhoods... Look for the continuing signs of Katrina and, for balance,
look for the rebuilding projects.

Thank you, Stan.
I was wondering how much of the city had recovered from Katrina. No
doubt there are plenty of reminders and some great successes in its wake.
