If you haven't danced in the streets of New Orleans with a brass band, then you really haven't danced. It's such a release of self and connection to the others around you. It's one of those things that feeds me now and then, and it's a gift to cross paths with brass players when I do visit the city.
This is my favorite form of photography. Years back it was very challenging for me to photograph people, especially those that I didn't know. I still remember nearly hiding behind a telephone pole just to take a photograph of people sitting on a bench waiting for a bus. I was so unsure and nervous, and that probably showed in the photos. It would be interesting to find that set of pictures, and think about how they might look different if I took them today.
