I started shooting when my mom got her first digital camera. You could take a picture, look at it right there, and change the composition on the fly. That instant gratification was really intriguing to me.

So from around 2003 to 2010 I sold my photography at the New Orleans art market, the Bywater art market, and in coffee shops around the city. The early camera was a cheap digital of its day, 3 megapixels. The files on this site are the biggest ones I have.

Then Katrina. We evacuated to Natchez and Vicksburg and lived there for three months, which is why a few pictures from Mississippi show up in the middle of a New Orleans story. When we got home I kept shooting. So a lot of what is here is the same city on both sides of the storm. The streetcar barn before, Canal Street after.

What sold? The inside of the streetcar sold a lot. Canal's Ruby was a top seller, to my recollection. St. Louis Cathedral straight on sold in all its various ways. And the streetcar on St. Charles on the sanded tracks did well.

In 2009 I got into the coffee business and I have been busy building it ever since, so I really haven't done much with the photography. It sat on a hard drive. This site is me hanging it all back up.

If you bought one of these off my table at the market, I would love to know where it's hanging. Write to me at pedeaux@gmail.com.
