A few photowalk pictures that capture a brief day in New Orleans. Gator bites, Bigfoot, alcohol, tarot in a church zone, a hangover or homelessness, and finally the blend of music and food. Taken during October 2023 with a Canon F1-N and Kodak Tri-X 400.
The New Orleans Swamp in Monochrome. | Canon F1-N + Kodak Tri-X 400
I used Kodak Tri-X film with a Canon F1-N on a boat ride through the New Orleans Swamp in October 2023. The lush plants and vibe of the swamp made a great setting for the classic look of Tri-X film. The Canon F1-N was tough and dependable in the tough and humid conditions, capturing the detailed textures and gloomy feeling of the surroundings. This famous black and white film and the timeless quality of the F1-N made some cool images that bring you into the heart of the swamp's mysterious allure.

Arlington National Cemetary is a 'holy site' of American cultural life. It is visually iconic and - if you let it - profoundly moving. A representation of the human cost of statehood and identity.
Here are three images taken during my visit in summer of 2017.
