New Orleans Frenchman Street

[Art Meripol]

Frenchman St is the place in New Orleans for live music rather than the more known Bourbon St. On any given night you can catch a lot of the local greats. During the day it can be a great place for people watching too.

A wonderful street shot, Art. Of course, the eccentricity of the gentleman's attire contributes so much to the quality of this image, though even had his clothing been more conventional it would still be a wonderful street shot. The French Quarter is certainly a feast for the eyes and the camera.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Great shot, Art. We were in Nola back in 2018, principally for a Duran Duran gig at the Fillmore, but managed to experience the early stages of Mardi Gras, enjoying the parade down Bourbon Street. We were only in that area during the day, so missed out on the evening’s musical delights. Amazing atmosphere.

 

[Pete Askew]

Brian, sums this up perfectly I think. Fabulous shot. Nice vingetting too, helping to bring your eyes to the looks that the gentleman is drawing. And I like that he is looking out of frame too.

A great image indeed, absolutely gorgeous. Looking like it was done many many years ago.
