Barbie and Ken's 25th Anniversary- an art gallery window display.
One of the themes of that year's parades was "Barbie and Ken Go to the World Fair".

Gay bar in French Quarter, Mardi Gras night.

"Christians" bearing crosses, marching through the French Quarter on Mardi Gras night, chanting 'Homos will go to Hell".

Nasty looking couple, giving me the "evil eye".

Woman in hairnet. Uptown, I believe. (sign reads) Render unto Satan "Caesar" that which is... render unto God the things that are Gods. Hand-colored B&W with Marshall's oils.

Assorted debris from New Orleans' gutters, collected in the aftermath of Mardi Gras night. I brought it home to be part of a window installation in my gallery exhibit, and borrowed the sewer grate from an antique store. I want to buy one like it- so If anyone knows where I can find another one like this, please email me! The photo is a studio shot, from a 4 by 5 negative.
