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

I  don’t ever get tired of shooting the French Quarter in New Orleans, maybe because it’s so European and I feel at home, maybe just because it’s so unique! In the middle of  it all, first  to catch the sunrise and the fog poured in by the River is the St. Louis Cathedral. I particularly love these new photos I took since the fog is patchy  and not  ”layered” evenly everywhere. The St. Louis Cathedral is lit by the sun, everything else is  in the fog, yet Decatur Street is still in the shade, and the sky is blue with clouds in it too! There is a “whole lot of light going on”, in other words…A gumbo of light . Please do not forget to scroll down on this post, there are also a couple of other shots that I LOVE, one of Decatur St. at sunrise and one of the New Orleans Skyline , yep, French Quarter again…

Fine art photography by Pompo Bresciani at the New Orleans' Hyatt Regency Hotel

Five large prints of mine were commissioned by the New Orleans Hyatt Regency Hotel for display in the exibit hall by the lower ballroom, towards the back of the hotel. If you happen to visit New Orleans and/or  stay at the newly remodeled (recently re-opened after almost 6 years after Katrina) Hyatt Regency, which is not too far from the Mercedes Benz Superdome my photographs are displayed on either side of the lower ballroom entrance. To get there you will need to go to the third floor of the hotel, walk towards the back, passing the first restaurant to the right and the second to the left ,then take the stairs down to the lower ballroom, the prints are on either side of the entrance to the ballroom. Please have a look and feel free to comment in here anytime to let me know what you think. Your feedback will be very welcome.

Rev. Zombie VoodoShop (this image is different then the Hyatts, it's the same subject but it was taken earlier on. The one shot for the Hyatt Rengency Hotel has a different aspect ratio and cannot be ordered online, this is what originated the interest in the shot tho :) Click the image to order a fine art print on my other site nolaPIC.com

This is the second time that I have attended and shot the Satchmo Jazz Mass at the St. Augustine Church in Treme. The event is part of the annual Satchmo Summerfest which is held every year at the old US Mint on Esplanade Ave. in New Orleans. To be perfectly clear last year I didn’t actually attend “all the way”, since I wasn’t expecting the church to be so crowded so early, I ended up getting there a bit too late to get in, so I was stuck outside waiting for the function to end  so I could shoot the second line!  As many of you  know, Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong was a native New Orleanian, and that is the reason why we celebrate his birthday with a Jazz Mass, second lines and music, (lots of it) . To see more pictures from the 2011 Satchmo Summerfest are here.

Getting up “very” early allowed me to position myself close the brass band, on the exact side of the church where I had planned to be on…Actually when I got there, St. Augustine Church was still closed . I’m pretty satisfied with the photos, hard work always pays off!

This image of St Louis Cathedral makes me VERY happy since I waited for quite a long time yesterday to capture this photo. I have seen many shots of St Lous Cathedral, but the light, weather and angle in this photo, makes it very unique,  moody and romantic. It was very well worth it to deal with rain and super high humidity yay! It is available as a 10″x 10″ or 20″x 20″ fine art print or as a 20″x20″ giclees (canvas gallery wrap).

If you have read the famous book a “A Confederacy of Dunces” you should already know about these Lucky Dogs carts that are all over the French Quarter selling “gourmet hot dogs”. I tried to eat one once, but since I wasn’t drunk ( I don’t ever drink) it tasted pretty nasty to me. Maybe I forgot the relish , who knows, maybe it is true that people just eat them to soak up some the handgranades  they have had . Anyway, getting back to business, this image is available as a fine art print here.

Streetcar on Canal St. - New Orleans

The more pictures of streetcars I take, the more challenging it gets to come up with something unique and killer, however I don’t think I will ever grow tired of shooting them, in particular the line on Canal Street whose vehicles are red, and runs through all kind of  interesting backgrounds, traffic lights and bright traffi is my favorite. Chances are  that if and when I will somehow get a little bored with the current Canal St. line or the one on St. Charles Avenue (green ones), the new streetcars lines will be up and running on Rampart Street as it was recently announced!  Will they be a bright orange, turquoise maybe? Will the new streetcars be completely brand new with air conditioning and HD monitors in them? Plain air conditionion will be just fine …?
