New Orleans is one of my favorite cities. Please remember they still need post-Katrina help!
Size: 70×80 cm Crayons, watercolours, acrylics, scissors, glue, 3 lightbuls, THC, patience and Photoshop. Thanks to my amazing hubbie for the inspiration. This would have never come to my mind without him and the way he tells me things. And a couple of beers. And Clint Eastwood. And the Wild West !!!! Go figure.

All ready for a night on the town! Reminiscent of a bygone era when the dapper gentleman would hit the town in style. An elegant silver handled walking stick, white derby hat, cigars in a Spanish leather cigar case, and an 1881 Morgan silver dollar to pay the tab. There is also a bottle and glass of whiskey to get him started. Canon 50D – Canon 17-55 – f22 Also see the companion piece for the ladies! /

I’ve been meaning to attempt this composite for a long time… Inspired by one of my favourite songs by Sting. It still gives me goosebumps everytime I hear the lyrics… Moon over Bourbon Street / There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight / I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight / I’ve no choice but to follow that call / The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all / I pray everyday to be strong / For I know what I do must be wrong / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street It was many years ago that I became what I am / I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb / Now I can never show my face at noon / And you’ll only see me walking by the light of the moon / The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast / I’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans / She’s innocent and young from a family of means / I have stood many times outside her window at night / To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light / How could I be this way when I pray to God above / I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street New Orleans Streetview, 2007 – [Konica-Minolta 5D, 18-70 kit lens@35mm, f:5.6, 1/8sec (handheld), ISO-800] / Night Sky, 2009 – [Sony a350, Sigma 17-80@35mm, f:10, 30sec, ISO-100] .
The human heart has hidden treasures, / In secret kept, in silence sealed; / The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, / Whose charms were broken if revealed. / And days may pass in gay confusion, / And nights in rosy riot fly, / While, lost in Fame’s or Wealth’s illusion, / The memory of the Past may die. But, there are hours of lonely musing, / Such as in evening silence come, / When, soft as birds their pinions closing, / The heart’s best feelings gather home. / Then in our souls there seems to languish / A tender grief that is not woe; / And thoughts that once wrung groans of anguish, / Now cause but some mild tears to flow. And feelings, once as strong as passions, / Float softly backa faded dream; / Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations, / The tale of others’ sufferings seem. / Oh ! when the heart is freshly bleeding, / How longs it for that time to be, / When, through the mist of years receding, / Its woes but live in reverie ! And it can dwell on moonlight glimmer, / On evening shade and loneliness; / And, while the sky grows dim and dimmer, / Feel no untold and strange distress / Only a deeper impulse given / By lonely hour and darkened room, / To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven, / Seeking a life and world to come. (Charlotte Bronte, Evening Solace) taken with canon eos 50d, kit.
