NEW ORLEANS!

My sister-in-law took these amazing pictures in New Orleans and captured beautiful moments! Isn't she good! It was so fun to be back in a place I loved as a kid! It's a place where your dreams and imagination comes to life in full color and beauty. You can be yourself. There is music and talent on every corner. It feels good to pay someone for doing something entertaining, not just begging. It feels good. I have a hard time giving money to people just standing on the street begging, but for people performing and sharing their gifts and talents...it's not a problem!


The single ones in the family...anyone a taker?

This is the color I was talking about...look at all the colorful Mardi Gras Masks. They can't even have a normal colored door! Color is everywhere and it's truly awe inspiring.

This captures the other part of New Orleans that you don't see until dark...the sadness of living a life of drinking, smoking, doing drugs and living for the night life that Bourbon Street and parts of New Orleans is famous for. Who knows what this guy is doing, but under the bright colors, art, music, acting, etc. there are sad lives, sin, and false happiness. I guess that is how it is anywhere in the world, but this has two different sides in the daylight and at night:-)
