More DescriptionBoth Margo Taussig Pinkerton and Arnold "Arnie" Zann have been photographing in New Orleans since the 80s. Each finds inspiration in The Big Easy with its ever-changing cast of characters and quality of light. They delight in wandering the streets in and around the French Quarter, taking in the architecture, window displays, and street performers. They also love to listen to the amazing music both on the streets and in the bars. In this book, these artists bring two views of a historic and amazing city. Arnie is drawn to the visceral and sometimes raw aspects of New Orleans, while Margo is attracted to light and shadow, line and form, regardless of the subject. In this book, they give you a different take on many otherwise familiar scenes.Pinkerton and Zann have made the hardest choice if originality is the goal. And that was to focus on the French Quarter. How do you make original images in the one area that has had more photographs taken than any square mile of NOLA? The answer to that question is what makes this book such a delight.This collection of photographs goes well beyond being simply a feast to the eye or even evidence of a love affair with the French Quarter. You can witness and attempt to understand how photographers in their maturity who share a deep love for each other have maintained their own visual styles and can walk the same twists and turns of the French Quarter and both see and photograph very different things in very different ways.
