Student Choice - New Orleans, LA

This portfolio of images examines the architecture and beauty in the buildings of New Orleans. I looked to the photographer Stephen Shore for his work on the American city street, and although my composition may differ slightly from his, the idea of establishing the simple beauty in American cities is still there. My photographs attempt to make the simple beauty of a once dilapidated city pop. The names of the photographs all come from the streets they were taken on. I paid close attention to the color of buildings and the designs that age has brought the pieces of the buildings (stains, cracks, etc.). These images are intended to bring to light a new appreciation for the color and architecture around us that we do not pay attention to every day.
