We went on a number of tours while in New Orleans, which is a bit unusual for us. One of them was of Mardi Gras World. This place produces most of the floats for the Mardi Gras parades, as well as for other parades around the country.

I’ll be posting some more of these…need a little break from the mostly monochrome cemetary pics,…

Printing, Letterheads, Cards

Steel Grey and Ochre
New Orleans, Louisiana I’ve got ochre on the brain, because I’ve been reading the fascinating book Color: A Natural Histroy of the Palette by Victoria Finlay. The first section was all about ochre, particularly as used by Aboriginal people in Australia. Curiously, jury duty has the pleasant unexpected side effect of giving me lots of time to read in the breaks.
Burnt Sugar Souffle
At the Cafe Degas in New Orleans. Dan, Donna, Scott and I took a break from shooting in the cemetery, and had a lovely and refreshing lunch on their enclosed porch. This dessert might have actually been called Bread Pudding, but it’s texture was more like a souffle.
