In a little over a month from now New Orleans will celebrate Mardi Gras with about two weeks of festivities prior to this day. Whether one cares much about this festival is not important but I sure would have liked to attend this year. I can't make it and for everyone else who can't make it either I will show some of the photos I took last year. This is just a preview of the spectacle that you will miss if you don't go. My main interest as far as photography goes is portraiture hence the title.
