Being stuck in traffic is never the Ideal situation. Unfortunately, here in New Orleans it seems to be happening to me far more often. On this particular evening I dropped my wife off to meet her friends at Cafe Envie on Decatur. Not only did I not get good coffee, but I spent a long time in the car while all the beautiful evening light was dying down in the French Quarter. I guess there are worse ways to spend your time.

Bridal Portrait in the French Quarter, Monochrome Monday
The light in the French Quarter can be so amazing. The architecture there creates backdrops with textures unique in all of the world.
This Is a portrait of Ashton, who writes the ladies' fashion and lifestyle blog Purple Paddock. If you're a person that follows those sorts of things, it's well worth checking out and adding to whichever reader you use.

Throwback Thursday. Night Shot in New York City
Back in the pre-digital SLR era, shooting at night was hard. You only had a limited number of low light films to choose from, and they all had their drawbacks. I'd never been to New York before. But I had always heard about the bright lights. I packed two rolls of Fuji 800 NPZ and rolled the dice. I was so pumped that it worked.
As I've reworked this site and this blog I've had a chance to look at a lot of old images. This seems to be the only time I shot night cityscapes. I really should do it more often.
