The cabildo | new orleans

On our last day in New Orleans, we wandered over to The Cabildo, a pretty grand building which was once the seat of colonial government and now a museum. I shot a bit of Portra 800 up there - they came out with a bit of a greenish cast that I attempted to remove here. I have not quite figured out how to wield this particular film stock...

The second floor, pictured below, was by far the most photogenic. The sunlight was killer - I wonder how it'd look on an overcast day. I bet the mood completely changes and my camera would have loved it even more. As for the museum itself, it was nice to see a bit of Louisiana state history, but I must admit that I generally sprint through museums, reading maybe a handful of captions at best.
