the stoop

While in New Orleans over New Years, my friend Myron and I rented an apartment that ended up being right on the corner of Bourbon Street and Dumaine. It was at the very end of where the 'action' happens along Bourbon, but that also happened to be caddy-corner from our favorite bar, and across the street from the 24 hour diner. Suffice it to say that this wasn't a quiet place. For whatever reason, the stoop of our front door attracted people day and night, whether we were there or not, to stop and sit. I found it amusing most of the time. At some point I realized it could make for an interesting series of pictures if I could catch some of the people there. Here are a few from New Years Eve.
