Some New Orleans vacation photos... (lotsa pics)

I fancy myself an amateur photographer. Mostly just do it for fun, though have a secret longing to make a career of it :)

I'll post some of the pics I have on my computer already.

This was New Orleans, French Quarter, November 2004

10. For an amateur you sure have a great eye...

I love your use of color too. Absolutely stunning.

I can't wait to see some more.

13. Hear, hear!

You also have a great sense for composition. You've got some lovely texture in those two door pictures, and the detail from the floral grate looks almost like an antique brocade pattern. My favorite, though, is the bougainvillia up against the gray plaster with the red brick wall picking up the color again behind it. That's a stunner.

15. thank you :)

I think that the one you named was my favorite as well. The color on those flowers was just amazing - I had to snap that shot :)

14. Once again...I love these photos...

Just a suggestion, to save you a lot of posting, maybe you can put all the picture in one post. (Unless you're trying to build your post count for some reason ;) )

16. Thanks for the tip...

I wasn't sure if putting it all in one post would be more or less cumbersome for viewing, but in hindsight, it seems more cumbersome. I should have browsed this section a bit more to see how others were doing it. On a different web group that I belonged to once, the participants preferred separate posts for each pic. But it seems like with this web page format, it might be better to put it all in one post.
Point taken :)

17. Those are cool - I used to live in N.O.

but most of my pics are drunken tourist type. I like the fish spout esp.

Good eye for looking beneath the surface of the city!:hi:
