Boil me up some crawfish, Emeril, it's a Big Easy Photo Hunt!

Just after 8:pm as I type this and I've got to go to work in a little while. Who works on a Friday night?!!? I'll let you in on a little secret -- people need medical care 24 hours a day. So be thankful I'm goin' to work!

But first I wanted to get this done. Why? I'm not sure why.
I just wanted to. OKAY?!?!?! [ha ha]

PhotoHunt is a good excuse for me to post something other than music/running. Photography's not a passion of mine but taking pictures is something that I used to casually enjoy. Kind of amazingly, these days I don't have a digital camera (yes, I'm behind the times ... sue me) and not having that many photographs from through the years, pickins are slim. Mayhaps one of these days I'll git me one of dem fancy electronic picture takin' machines and I'll be able to post some better shots. But it looks like I came up with something...

the PhotoHunt theme for this week: twist(ed)

The stated rule for Photo Hunt is:
"Post a photo, on your site, that best represents the theme."

This was tough. Diggin' through what I've got from through the years I found a couple handfuls of shots from New Orleans. I absolutely do not remember taking this... then again I don't really remember taking any of my pictures... I remember being there but I don't remember this spot or the exact day. All I can say about it -- New Orleans, Louisiana, Mardi Gras time 1988.

Since my mom is from New Orleans, and that's where her family lived,
twas a city I often visited. Guess I was kinda lucky.
