New Orleans on Film

The journey began in the middle of the night at around 3am.  With tired eyes and heavy luggage, 8 of us piled into the Van-ella for a 10 hour drive down south to New Orleans.  The following images are the result of 6 rolls of 35mm film, the color being Portra 400 or 800 and the black and white being T-max 3200.  I have much to sort through on the digital photography end of this trip, but for now, enjoy this concoction of documentary and street photography from a very long weekend with the craziest people I know. 

A Sultry Evening

An evening at the Van Ella headquarters is never predictable, as was proven at the last 'Sultry Salon'.  What began as a congregation of art, poetry, interpretive dance, acrobatics and gypsy-style music by The Royal We, would transform into an absinthe-minded fantasy blur after most had left.  I myself was in a daze and not sure what to think, but I had never felt more at-one with my camera.
