Learning in New Orleans

June 21, 2012 by Rachel Elkind

I just got back from PPA which stands for Professional Photographers of America.  They hosted a photo conference in New Orleans.   Classes start at 7am and go all day into the evening. I get to be a student again taking notes like crazy hoping to remember and execute even a fraction of what I learn.    Having the conference in New Orleans was a bonus so I stayed an extra couple days to explore.  I loved walking around the French Quarters and stumbled upon a gem of a photo gallery; Agallery.com The owner, Josua Pailet bought images directly from photographers like Henri Cartier-bresson, Ansel Adams and Sebastiao Salgado. He spent a while answering my questions and educating me on how the world of art dealing works.  I am grateful for his impromptu education.   Other highlights were the Piano Bar at Pat Obrien’s,  grilled drum fish at the French Market, a ride on the Trolley (Street Car they call it) and a visit to the Insectarium (yes..a museum about insects)  It was a great trip.
