Ref.#88 4566xl ~ Bottles, New Orleans
While walking the streets of New Orleans we passed a rather dusty warehouse window with old bottles in iridescent colors. I took a few pictures through the window. When we had them printed locally the colors looked great. Now we hoped to find the owner and get permission to get inside the warehouse. After four days of checking for the owner, we spotted a man and woman leaving and locking the building. We approached and told them of our interest. At first the man wanted to blow us off, saying he had professionals try to capture the colors but were unsuccessful. We produced our recent prints and he suddenly perked up. We were invited in to photograph. We heard him tell us the story of how he had built an immense collection of rare bottles filling the warehouse. We framed a large print of this image and shipped to him as a thank you. A month later we had an exuberant phone call at four AM in the morning thanking us for the picture. (He obviously didn’t take into account we were in a different time zone)
