The Finger Points to the West. Or is it East?

Published 12 May 2008

This is from a few nights past the full moon back in January. It was a splendid night, with some really great mist hanging in the air and good light. Unfortunately, I only got a few shots at this location before moving on… After which I promptly locked my keys in the car and had to worry about how to get across town at 2am with a few grand worth of camera equipment over my shoulder. Luckily, I was able to manage without any major run-ins. However once it was settled, I was all out of energy for more photography that night and all that great light was to go to waste… But perhaps I can rest my hope that some other photographer out there got something good.

This is Audubon Park in New Orleans, looking toward the Tulane and Loyola campuses. If there’s anyone out there familiar with the area, you may notice that the two prominent buildings in the background are actually reversed. Well, that’s just how I scanned it and in the end I decided the composition was much more pleasing that way. So much for documentary photography.
