Journey on Analog: New Orleans

The feeling of nostalgia existed even before my first visit here a few years ago. Whether it had been instilled from books I had read, movies I had watched, or maybe even magazines I had browsed, the feeling and eventual trip was something I could not resist. I made my first trip in 2017 and have been back at least once a year ever since.

The photos shot here in this blog were shot on 35mm film. I used this medium most on this trip in 2018 to try and relate that feeling of nostalgia that always fluttered through my mind. I’ve always had the feeling that analog photography has this sense of nostalgia, wonder, and certain mood associated with it and the culture surrounding it, especially in the modern day, after two decades of digital photography. It’s something that takes us back to our child hood, a feeling we want to obtain again, and with these photos and trip, I hoped to achieve exactly that.
