My Photos of New Orleans -- Early 2002

I was fortunate enough to have an all expense paid trip (via the company I was doing project work for at the time) to New Orleans a couple of years ago.  We were there for a convention, so spare time was hard to come by…but I did manage to snap some photos when I was there.  You can view some of them in the new gallery I created on my site.

From what I gathered while I was there, Mardi-Gras is pretty much a year round affair (well, the going’s on of Mardi-Gras at least…copious imbibing of drinks and lots of skin)…though the city was literally buzzing with culture, a pulse of it’s own.  The food…the music…it was such an amazing place and I wish I could have spent more time there.  The convention turned out to be a bust for the company I was there with; they barely broke even, and we parted ways soon afterwards (though I’m still friends with the CEO).  At least I got to see New Orleans.  It’s simply mind blowing to think I might never see it again, or at the very least not how it used to be.
