Point taken. I have spent a great deal of time in NOLA and the appearance of the "souvenir postcard" was intentional, however, that is just scratching the surface of countless meanings and interpretations playing between the elements of the image, or at least that is my intention. It is really hard to get across all that is going on in a "web" image, perhaps if you saw the images printed out large you would not dismiss them as easily.

Thanks for the comments though.

cheers

look at the image, which should stand on its own, forget where it was taken, it's not a documentary or journalism, it's art

if you don't like it, then don't like it for the right reasons, not because it doesn't comport with your deeply held feelings about NOLA

Tom Wolfe's 'Painted Word' made the point that post-modern art had become so divorced from the creative process, that we needed the titles and the labels to know how to respond to it

in fact, the creative process has become so conceptual it is now more about creating thought provoking, ironic, or titllating juxtapositions between labels and images than about making art

these images are both beautiful and playful, full of longing and imagination - is that woman behind that door? -

Emerick could have called the series Front Doors ... then how would you have responded?

the aesthetic sensibilities of many people have gone way downhill, IMHO

Dave, it would be interesting to see a companion series to N.O. Vixens, a post-Katrina series...
