I think this will be the last post of my New Orleans trip? I saw quite a bit graffiti, murals, and signs while visiting. I wish I captured more but there was that issue of trying to live in the moment and not behind a camera. And so I decided to live in the moment and visually take in everything I saw of the city.
Unfortunately my awesome vacation has come to an end; just got back home today.
I’m not going to go into much depth about the daily shenanigans we participated in, but I’ll quickly summarize.
Note: this was written up yesterday but couldn’t find a chance to do my final edits before posting, so therefore it’ll be an “Entertain Me Tuesday” post.
My first festival experience for sure was interesting, but I would say it wasn’t anything more than average. Crowded, hot, but exciting to share the experience with so many other people that are there for the same reason you are.
Finally found some downtime to post at least a little sumthin’ sumthin’. It’s been a super non-stop active bunch of days, and if I can share without sounding whiney, my body is a bit sore.
This is my first time in New Orleans, as I’ve shared before, and although the south is foreign to me, New Orleans feels familiar. I personally sense some similarities to Portland, which could be why this city feels familiar.
Like I predicted, I’m enjoying the art scene much down here. Both visual and audio. Their music scene is so LIVELY. Murals everywhere, art vendors left and right, and hot diggity dawg, their houses are so damn precious. I love the colorful shotgun houses; I’ve been photographing strangers’ homes more than anything else so far.
(Exhibit A ⤴ )
So I guess I wanted to share some of my trip I documented so far. Here’s a small batch of colorful things around the city I have seen that caught my attention.
