River Road in Louisiana follows the Mississippi River along its convoluted course. On one side of the two-lane road is the levee and on the other, small communities, chemical plants and isolated homes like this one.
A week before we were ordered by the governor of Louisiana to stay at home, I had to drive to New Orleans. On the way home, I took the longer, slower route along River Road, a drive that I love. My husband prefers the interstate, but he was not with me, so I had time to stop and take pictures. Much of my March project is photos taken that one day.
Other projects I planned in March will have to wait--trips to Bayou Lafourche to shoot shrimp boats and to the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans to photograph the home of Fats Domino.
This is most excellent. You've truly captured the feel of the area and its history. I would love to find such a winding road to explore. FAV. Interstates have no soul.
