I have been trying to get this shot for quite some time, I don’t just drop by and snap…I have a shot in my mind’s eye and try to conquer it. I have been waking up at 5 am and drove to the spot 4 times, but as always, you cannot plan what nature will do…Besides, humans are always in the way to screw things up too lol…I met Murphy there a coupe of times…That son of a gun is no good:)

I was so happy when I finally got these two shots of this beautiful, yet scary alley of Oak trees not too far from  Oak Alley Plantation. In this very same location, Quentin Tarantino will be shooting his new feature film “Django Unchained” ( Jamie Foxx , Leonardo DiCaprio and Kevin Costner are among the few starts confirmed ). Django Unchained’s crew have been working there for over a month setting up everyting ahead of the shoots and the security around there is a pain in da…butt. Can’t wait to see the movie, hopefully we’ll see a shot right in this alley of oak trees too. :0
