Who Dat!!!!!!

February 3, 2010

I would be remiss if i didn’t post a few samples from my latest photo series here. They’re of New Orleans resident Casey Fox. A bit of background here, taken from a post of mine at Facebook:

“I had been wanting to take posed shots of someone for a while, with the idea in mind that I’d rather not know the person acting as a model for me very well, or not at all. I wrote the woman in these photos, Casey, after she favorited a photo I took of her on Mardi Gras Day last year, asked if she’d like to, oh, play along. She said sure. To make a long story short, I took the photos in this series last Friday, in and around the Peristyle at City Park. The shoot was an experiment that worked, I think, and was–oh, sorta–way too much fun.”

These are some of my favorite photos ever, of ones I’ve taken at least. You can see the whole set here. Meanwhile, please check out her food blog, la fille de la ville, which is excellent.

Took this one at the last post-season game held at the Superdome, the New Orleans-Philly game of 2007. It looks like I won’t be able to get such a shot this year, not outdoors, unless by some miracle a 100 percent chance of rain prediction does not hold. Oh well. All the more reason to hope the Saints get out their big can o’ whoopin’. Who Dat!
