Afternoon in the Garden of Good & Evil
Kathleen and I squeezed through the locked gates of this cemetery in New Orleans in early 2001. I have another photograph that I have to remember to scan. I keep it at my desk at work. It's of a broken angel atop one of these big tombs. Every time I look at it, it gives me a feeling of peace. Strangely, these photographs remind me of everything I loved about New Orleans. The beauty, the mystery and the adventure. Ironically, these tombs were built to withstand flood so that the bodies would never float to the surface. I wonder what condition they're in now.
Can you see why she is the [platonic] love of my life?

Posted by: Sandy at September 12, 2005 02:10 AMnice photos. we took a bunch at a cemetery right outside of the Quarter the day after Mardi Gras on our way out of town. some bum kept following us around telling us, "you know, you can't take pictures of ghosts, if that's what you're trying to do." gee, thanks for the info, man.
*sigh* I was really looking forward to going to Mardi Gras again next year. we had such a blast.
OOOOh- la- la. Where did I get those red legs from?
I love these. I miss my photos that are all in storage...I'm glad you have so many of the same photos as I. Funny, I was just missing these the other day as I thought about New Orleans. The broken angel wing is beautiful...
