Treme' (Treh-MAY) a neighborhood in the city of New Orleans

I was feeling a little homesick last night watching the premiere of Treme.  I decided to post some photos I took back in 2006, less than one year after Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast. At the time, I was living in NYC and taking a recreational black & white film photography class in downtown Manhattan. I developed and processed these images in a dark room. I wish I could have explored more of the city that day. What I love about these is that they feel timeless to me...its the Vieux Carre the way I remembered it as a kid.

These photos below are images I took while at a wedding in New Orleans. Rebirth Brass Band led the Bride and Groom's Second Line through the New Orleans Museum of Art. The HBO show Treme features some of New Orleans most noteworthy musicians like, Kermit Ruffins, Juvenile, Dr. John and Rebirth!
