Jeffery,

Some of the images you are making in your series of New Orleans are just 
begging for wide angle lenses. Personally I would love to see a few full 360 
degrees panorama shots from the middle of former intersections.

Take your widest lenses, some orange or red filters and a pocket grey card 
to meter off of. It will be well worth it IMHO.

Regards,

Greg
