On a walk through New Orleans’ Faubourg Marigny neighborhood a few years ago, I found myself photographing the unexpected art I was seeing – whether it was what some might call grafitti to murals to painting around a store entrance. Here are some of my favorite photos from my walk.

Sometimes when I’m walking around a city like New Orleans – I just wander with my camera in hand, photographing whatever catches my eye. When I get back and look at my photos for the day, sometimes I’ll see that a theme as emerged in my photos of the day.
