I have been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to update this blog of mine as I should have… Among the updates that I like to share :

I have re-organized www.nolaPIC.com very recently; all the pictures are categorized by subject and theme and they will be easy to find (as they should have been in the first place!).
“Forever New Orleans” will be showing and selling my best gicless (canvas gallery wraps) size 10″x15″ and 15″x15″ starting on Tuesday July 12, 2011. The charming boutique is located on Royal Street at St. Peters right on the corner across Rouses in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Forever New Orleans PH: 504-586-3536

Finally here are just a few shots that I just did which I really like that needs your attention! Please do keep on checking my site www.nolaPIC.com since that is the place to find the newer images and that’s where you can order prints and giclees from. As I said before I don’t have too much time available to update this blog with the most recent New Orleans Photography as I would like to, and to tell you the truth, I’d rather be shooting ! 🙂

PS. Do not forget to scroll all the way down on the bottom of this post or you might miss that killer photo of Pirate’s Alley wrapped in that French Quarter fog and Forever New Orleans right below!

Dr. LeMonnier’s home, on Royal St. in the French Quarter in New Orleans, referred to as “New Orleans’ first skyscraper” which towers three stories high. In the foreground are the elaborate cast-iron gallery railings of LaBranche House. It is one of the most photographed residences in New Orleans.

Even More New Orleans Streetcars Photography !

Streetcar on Canal St. - New Orleans — Click image to purchase a print on nolaPIC.com

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 …?

Never Let a Good Rainy Day Go to Waste…

by Pompo | posted in: Photography, Prints for Sale | 0

Oh wow it was so worth it, yet again I got some killer shots in the French Quarter during this last winter storm brushing up southeast Louisiana! Although it didn’t bring any of the white powdery stuff that we get to see down here so rarely, it brought once again the magic lights and moods of desolated streets and alleys… all of these photos below are available as fine art prints at www.nolaPIC.com Click any image below to get to the fine art print, where you can view them larger and/or purchase them.

New Orleans...the magic city at twilight. Click to see larger and/or purchase print. — Click image to purchase a print on nolaPIC.com

Ladies and Gentlemen I’m very glad to announce my latest fine art photography work shot on Canal Street in New Orleans!

Since I have been waiting quite a while (weeks!) to get this photo done I’m very pleased with the results! Not only the magic twilight and angle makes the photo quite unique, but the never seen subject itself is a newer one that I have never seen done here! I got a little soaked and had to be a contortionist to get to shoot this image, but as always, hard work always pays off and as matter of facts I can’t stop staring at it! It is available as an open edition print at nolaPIC.com (my online fullfillment website). This killer New Orleans skyline image features Canal Street with the bright red streetcar we all know or at least have heard of, in the foreground, and the central business district in the background. To see another KILLER panorama (taken from the west bank instead) please click here!!!

I have been waiting for these type of moody and gloomy light for quite a while and if you live here, you are well aware that it does not happen that often. I walked in the French Quarter for a long time, I was sore and soaked but as you will see from the photos it was well worth it. Let’s pray for some snow on the South Shore now.

Pictures of Holt Cemetery in New Orleans

by Pompo | posted in: Photography, Prints for Sale | 0

Click image to purchase a print on nolaPIC.com

I just added three new pictures of the Holt cemetery in New Orleans to the Gallery named “New Orleans Cemeteries” on my e-commerce site www.nolaPIC.com! To see more New Orleans photography and purchase high quality prints please visit www.nolaPIC.com

The same gallery contains other images taken at Lake Lawn cemetery and Cypress Grove cemetery in New Orleans. High quality edition prints can be ordered online, framed, matted and with non-glare glass at very affordable prices. Many other different Louisiana subjects are available online as well, including Fine Art pictures of the French Quarter, City Park and Second Lines in New Orleans.

Now…About Holt Cemetery: It’s basically a potter’s field– the final resting place for some of New Orleans poor and indigent peoples for over a century. Because it’s a cemetery for the poor, people are buried in the ground rather than housed in the mausoleums you see throughout the city’s scenic cemeteries. More prosperous dead people rot in fancy tombs, but most of the graves here are personally decorated with bed frames, brightly-painted piles of earthly possessions, wooden headstones, and planter boxes, among other touching displays.
