Exploring New Orleans And Her Cemeteries

I’ve always wanted to visit New Orleans. Great food, the birth place of Jazz, unique architecture… I was pretty excited when Kristi, Brady, and I had the opportunity to finally go over Spring Break a couple of weeks ago.

We tried to check off some of the important items over the 36 hours we were there, including:

Took a swamp tour and saw some crocodiles
Had coffee and Beignet’s at Cafe Du Monde
Tried jambalaya and charbroiled oysters
Explored the French Quarter
Found Archie Manning’s house

And on the last morning, I had the opportunity to wander through the famous Lafayette Cemetery No.1 with a pair of headphones and my camera. It’s been a while since I’ve done my own little photowalk (I’m now determined to make them happen more frequently), and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Talk about whiplash! It’s thought provoking to go from weddings, capturing the beginning of a new life together, to an old cemetery.

Here’s a bit of what I got. Seeing as how it’s not a wedding, I try to push the envelope a little more on the editing, just for fun…
