I landed in New Orleans on September 1st, 2011. I had just finished living in Seattle for the previous three months and was glad for the change of scenery. Despite making it down however, I knew in many ways that my personal project of spending three months at a time in four different cities was at its end.
I had met someone in Seattle, whom even as I write this is very close to my heart. And even before I started this journey I wondered how a situation like this might effect my travels. I thought that I could just leave, and go one with my journey never looking back. But I couldn't, I couldn't not look back.
So with the promise of being gone only a month we waited for each other as I left for my hometown of New Orleans.
Staying only about a mile outside the French Quarter, I found myself there almost every day. I took this series of images with my Holga during my second day in New Orleans when I happenstanced upon Southern Decadence, basically, Gay Pride, New Orleans style.
