It’s difficult to explain what the color of an energy is, how foreign it feels to any other city in the U.S. that I’ve been to. I heard more than 2 blocks of music all at once: trumpets blaring from one side with a Louis Armstrong imitator over the music, while on the other side you had a DJ dropping on the mic with a “hot new song.” There was the sound of a woman’s laughter as she swayed in the street, glass of wine in hand, while street performers gathered over 65 people for their next big trick. All of the cultures, ethnicities, and the different hues here in this city… These photos depict New Orleans for you through how I felt and what I saw. These are my colors of energy.
