St. Vincents Cemetery, 9th ward, NOLA

St. Vincents is a cemetery I have not worked a great deal in, mostly as its in a really crime ridden part of the lower 9th ward. It's a shame as there are some really remarkable statuary in this cemetery. Still your shooting here and hyper aware of anyone walking by, is that the guy who is going to produce a gun and rob you? It's a weird way to work in what is supposed to be a peaceful place.

Had a chance to do some new with with my old friend Rita with some studio assistance from Bart this weekend. The Tyson studio is getting to be where I want it now and I have a good selection of books to work with. Starting to place small objects on the books, this might lead to a new group of still lives. the only downside to the shoot, my Balcar mono-light blew-up, I fear it is fatal.

Elmer's Island State Park. It was interesting to see that there was still a significant workforce there cleaning up residue from the BP oil spill.
