I was in New Orleans in July 2007 on Canal Street, the site where Robert Frank made his now famous photograph of people on the trolley. I took my own trolley picture, one of homage. I was struck by how things have changed since the late '50's when Mr. Frank made his picture. Our nation and society had experienced the civil rights movement, school integration, a sexual revolution, the women's movement, and 911 since then. These thoughts were roaming through my brain as I was moved to photograph people in the street, wanting to see what is, "what do people look like on this street corner on this day in America". It was a beautiful hot and humid afternoon at the corner of Bourbon and Canal and there was a river of light, color, gesture and life I was immersed in for three hours. Those moments are now past but you can feel the energy flow there, or on any street corner you visit if you are open to it. There are no ordinary moments.
