Recently I had the good fortune to return to one of my favorite cities.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Good work...nice captures all. I like number 2...the big guy...his face is so huge compared to the other guys.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.

    Great series. I like them all except the last one that seems flat in comparison with the others...

    Nice shots on 2 to 6 and the conversions are really nice. I wonder what 3 would look like printed on metal

    Number 2! clap.gif. I wish I was a fly on that wall for that conversation for some reason, likely because he looks like such a character.

    But I was really into your entire series right down to the coffee and beignets!
    It has been 15 years since I last went down there to have some. I'm due.

    Thanks Juano, that last one was taken by my wife with my Fuji X-100 so you can criticize it all you want. :D

    Nice set. Lots of character in #2. I like the composition of #5, but I'm not sure I like the vaguely HDR look of the processing. It does bring out detail in what must have been difficult light, but looks unnatural somehow. Dunno.

    Ah, for some beignets...

    They all look like HDRs or at least tone-mapped....

    pretty good ones, though. thumb.gif #5 needs to be surrealistic, because it is Harry's dream food! :D

    Thanks and 15 years is way too long between visits to the Big Easy.
