Cheryl Richards: The French Quarter-A Photographer's Candy Store

Bourbon Street-French Quarter-New Orleans

We recently visited New Orleans to celebrate a friend's birthday. We stayed in a historic house on Esplanade Avenue right on the border of Tremme. I'm sure I don't have anything new to add to the wonder and experience of the French Quarter. The history, the rich culture, the color, the energy. It was all there and we were there in the middle of November. What I did learn, unfortunately, was even though I am in love with my new Samsung Galaxy and it really does have a great camera built in, I really, really wish I had taken my Nikon with me. Phone cameras are great and convenient but they still don't match a DSLR. So next time, and believe me there will be a next time, I pack the Nikon.
