The way i see it
photographers who capture the soul of New Orleans
A collection of people and places as seen through the eyes of photographers; twelve total - five women and seven men, nine white and three black, eight that live in New Orleans and four that live elsewhere. It is a celebration of a city that refuses to die, that thrives because of its attitude toward life. The Big Easy, the city that care forgot… The photographs were chosen by each photographer and uncensored. They reflect each person's’ personality at least that’s “the way I see it”.

The Way I See It
Why black and white? “Let’s assume that all the cassettes of monochrome film Cartier-Bresson ever exposed had somehow been surreptitiously loaded with colour film. I’d venture to say that about two thirds of his pictures would be ruined and the remainder unaffected, neither spoiled nor improved. And perhaps one in a thousand enhanced.” Philip Jones Griffiths
Welsh photojournalist, 1936 - 2008
“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” Robert Frank
American photographer and documentary filmmaker, 1924 -
“Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.” Ansel Adams
American photographer, 1902 -1984
“Color tends to corrupt photography and absolute color corrupts it absolutely. Consider the way color film usually renders blue sky, green foliage, lipstick red, and the kiddies’ playsuit. These are four simple words which must be whispered: color photography is vulgar.” Walker Evans
American photojournalist, 1903 - 1975
The Way I See It
New Orleans: The Way We See It New Orleans is easy, in a way no other place I have experienced is. It is a slow harmony with jazz riffs in the distance dancing on the light. It is an easy smile…
Kathleen K. Parker Being a New Orleanian, as I see it, is being tolerant, open-minded, and at peace with cultural differences. It involves indulging in the pleasures of life here and now and not worrying too much about unknowable tomorrows. The gap between who you say you are and who you really are is nonexistent. It's dancing in the street without feeling self-conscious, greeting strangers warmly, enjoying good food and libations, and being at once laid back, exuberant, and comfortable in one's own skin in our northernmost Banana Republic.
Kim Welsh Earl King sang “There Ain’t No City Like New Orleans” and he’s right. There’s an almost endless list of what makes New Orleans unique. It starts with the people. In New Orleans a stranger is treated like a friend. Initially, the warmth and generosity is a shock to a New Englander. Before you know, you’ve learned about their children, grandchildren, 3 great restaurants to try, events that are not-to-miss and the best live music venues in town. Nola has it’s problems. The media paints a picture of crime, murder, overindulgence and corruption. It doesn’t attract eyeballs communicating the New Orleans outlook on life. Soul Queen of New Orleans Irma Thomas sums it up: “In New Orleans we celebrate for everything: brawls, roaches, mosquitoes, alligators, gumbo, red beans and rice, okra, corn, a headache, divorce, separation and when your pregnancy test comes back negative.” Long may the tradition and culture of New Orleans thrive.

The way I see it, second lines are familial, generational, communal and cross-cultural ties that bind. There is nothing more soul stirring and gratifying than going to a Sunday Second Line where, the brass band blows through your soul as you sing and dance in the streets of New Orleans. Laissez les bons temps rouler.
Cosette Richard They call us, or we call ourselves, the Big Easy, and these are the feelings that show when New Orleans presents her face to the world - easy love, easy energy, easy joie de vivre, as she parades, dances, plays, creates. She is a lady in her finery and glitter, her hand extended, a smile upon her face. Her smile is genuine, but it is also a mask that hides the scars of storms past, the pain of poverty, and the unrelenting absence of lives lost to violence. Look closely at New Orleans, and you will find celebration and heartbreak, abundance and scarcity, verve and tranquility. She is all this, if we care to see.
Corrie Boudreaux New Orleans is where the tree of life plants its roots. The city where existing is an expression of life. It's where music paints a picture and brush strokes of color guide you to feel. The way I see it, it's where everything that was still is. It's a page from a chapter of every important book. The way I see it, New Orleans IS.
Cierra James After many years traveling the world I found New Orleans. She took me in and grabbed hold of my soul, my gut, my heart. I learned from her. Being easy is not easy and NOLA has achieved that elusive trait in a unique way. Strangers smile and greet each other. Music is everywhere. Perhaps that is her magic ingredient. Whatever her secret may be, she will never die. Who dat!

St. Charles Avenue Street cars and oak trees. Coming home at dawn with a head full of music and a heart filled with the laughter of friends. New Orleans; like silk, like water, like smoke, like early evening like dawn. like the salt of oysters on the tongue, raw.
Ted Carter New Orleans , the way I see it , is with a camera in hand, out in the neighborhoods, on the street, in the middle of some of the most unique , exciting, beautiful and moving cultural celebrations imaginable. I feel blessed, honored and privileged to be able to witness, participate in and do my part in helping to document these wonderful happenings. YYR.
Michael Mastrogiovanni Every person who lives in New Orleans has a story. These stories weave together through music, paintings, dance, costume, food, and millions of other things that make up a life. This city that is older than this nation has a culture grounded in and linked to the diverse backgrounds and traditions of the people who call it home.
Ryan Hodgson-Ri​ gsbe​ e New Orleans is a vivid, dangerous and beautiful city. We (the featured photographers) are documentarians of NOLA.

random conversations Lawrence Kasparowitz
in a coffee shop on St. Charles: The table next to us was occupied by a black family. The grandfather, an older gentleman, tells the waitress that he did not get a knife with his setup. The waitress (who is a rather large black woman) returns and puts the knife on the table barely missing his head. The man jokingly says "whoa, you almost got me with that knife!" The waitress says "Sir, if I had wanted to do some damage, I would N OT be using a butter knife!” at the New Orleans Brew Pub: The waiter (sharply dressed) gives me the menu and says he'll return to get my order. He comes back and says "and what can I get you to drink?" I said "man, I would love a tall glass of water." The waiter says "Sir, I am going to bring you water, but what I asked you was what you wanted to DRINK !" walking at the corner of Jackson Square headed for the Cafe Du Monde: I see this guy with this hat and beads, greying beard, and I recognize him (our eyes meet) - DR. JOHN , and he says "Hey, how's it going, man?" I say "great" and keep walking. at the Bed and Breakfast: I come back from a long day at Jazz Fest, and Glenn and Randy are making martinis. I join the group, of course. After some chatting, Glenn asks me where I am going to have dinner. I tell him I have no idea. They ask me "Do you like seafood?" I say sure - then they ask me "Do you like oysters?" I say sometimes. Then they go down the list; "Do you like them fresh? Do you like them fried? Do you like them barbequed?". They proceed for the next fifteen minutes to argue about which place has the best of each kind. in a cab right after Katrina: One black driver has a conversation with us. I ask him "Did you have to move during Katrina?" He tells his story - "I moved to Houston, thankfully I had relatives there. My neighbor and I were best friends. He had three kids and I told him to get out of the city right now. He said he could not leave his house (he starts crying). All five of them drowned. Now I think I should have argued harder with him." saying on a tee shirt at a jeans shop on Magazine Street: SHALOM, YA’LL !!

DEDICATION To (Reverend) Don Koberg; New Orleans native, Tulane graduate, professor of architecture at California Polytechnic State University, my advisor, mentor and co-founder of the Mardi Gras celebration in San Luis Obispo still the Universal Traveler (R.I.P.)
GRATITUDE This was a collaborative effort and was made possible by the generosity and talent of the contributing photographers an incredibly gifted group who trusted a stranger with some of their best images. Thank you for the opportunity.
COLOPHON The book was produced on a Toshiba Chromebook 2, using only Google applications, i.e. Drive, Docs, Drawings, Files, Search and Gmail. Online applications were used to adjust the contrast and size of the photos - Edit.pics.io. and Polarr. The file grew too large for Docs to convert to a pdf and had to saved as two separate sections in pdf format. Page numbers had to be inserted one at a time in the document. The online app - I ❤ PDF was used to combine the two sections into one pdf. Printing was produced through Createspace. Fulfillment and shipping is via Amazon. This entire book is therefore, a product of “cloud computing.” Fonts used in the document are: Alegra (the font used here), Playfair Display for titles and Roboto for notes. The book title on the cover and inside uses the A MATIC SC font. Page numbers use the Bree Serif font (bold, underlined and medium grey). All fonts were selected from Google Fonts. The horizontal lines are a feature of Google Docs. Profits are shared equally among the photographers.
