Windows

Walking is better than driving. Because you see stuff like this.

I saw this in a window. In the French Quarter.  You know how some stores, usually clothing stores, put mannequins in the window. Well, this is an art gallery’s version of that. If you look close enough you can see framed photographs hanging on the wall. They are for sale. This mask isn’t. Unless you want to spend really big bucks.

That’s it for today.

I am planning on going to the big Halloween parade called the Krewe of Boo. It’s tonight. A little earlier than usual. The route has been changed, which probably has something to do with it.

I’m torn. Usually I photograph parades from the start. There are a lot of pictures to be found there.

I was thinking.

There is a really nice view from the gun emplacement near the river that puts the parade in the foreground, Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral in the background. But, it’s one picture. Once I commit to one or the other that’s it. Because of the huge crowd movement is almost impossible unless you are leaving. I guess I’ll flip a mental coin and decide while I’m on my way.

What would you do? Go for the potential of a lot of pictures? Or, just the one scene setter?
