Yesterday morning Brian and I woke up and headed to Lafayette cemetery where we met up with a tour guide. She took us around the cemetery and told us the history of it and who was buried there. She also told us about the different movies that were filmed there. After shooting in the cemetery for an hour, Brian and I took the street car down Canal street to what they call cemetery district. We went to three different Cemeteries to shoot until we stumbled across an amazing Cemetery. This cemetery was amazing! The details and the run downness of the site was awesome. Brian and I shot there for quite a while.
After Shooting all day we headed back to the hotel where we met with Curator of the NOMA Museum. He talked to each of us about our projects and gave us some ideas about where to go with our work.
Last night Jodi, Maria and I headed down to Bourbon street and took a Haunted History Tour of the city. The tour was interesting, but it was alot more about the History than the Hauntedness. After our 2 hour waking tour we headed to get some food! WE asked some locals about where to get some good food and they told us to head to YO MOMMA'S. We headed up to the second floor and bellied up to the bar and ordered a Bleu Cheese Burger. We hung out with the coolest bartender Chris! Chris told us how he left New Orleans four months after Katrina and moved to Maui where he spent 2 years there. We sat for a few hours and talked until we were so tired we had to go back to the hotel!
So about my project- I attached a few photos of the work that I am doing. I am mostly concentrating on the light and shadows produced by the rod iron in the Cemeteries. Also concentrating onthe doors and to fences that surround the grave.
