The Photo of The Week is one of many photographs I have taken in the French Quarter of New Orleans during the past 18 months. It is typical of the scenes you see in this city that never sleeps….especially in the French Quarter. There is music everywhere on the streets.
Titled, “Doggone Good Music,” it is one of 21 which will be included in my upcoming exhibit, “Doorways of The French Quarter.” The exhibit will be held at the WUWF public broadcast radio station on the campus of University of West Florida in Pensacola.
The exhibit starts on October Monday, Oct 3, and runs through November 11th. The series of photographs was inspired by a night scene I had taken in 1968 on Burbon Street.
This scene, taken in the shade, enables all the tone and texture of the photograph to come alive. The dog appears to be enjoying the music…or is taking a nap.
It was a fun experience and is an interesting exhibit. New Orleans is always a great place to visit. All the activity is not on Burbon Street.
