Should USA be open again to 'damn foreigners' by next March, I am planning a rendezvous with my son for a few days in the area. Leaving aside jazz and the city, I would greatly welcome any local knowledge on locations, publications, and even recommendations for a local guide. Thanks for your time, and interest.
Cordially,
Dick Kenny

Hello Dick.
I'm an avid fan of this site who lives in New Orleans and would be happy to provide any information I can that you want.
Right now the area is somewhat closed up. The virus toll was pretty heavy a little while ago, but it is not as bad, now.
The best way to see this area is by streetcar or auto. if you're interested in historic places, there is a lot of history here. You might check out Richard Campanella's books on the city and surroundings.
If it's the wetlands, then a boat is needed. Myself, I find the wetlands fascinating. Do you like to canoe and/or kayak? It's a photographers great challenge and reward. You might contact Byron Almquist if you want to paddle on a bayou.
Any more questions let me know.

Richard:
Sincere apologies for the tardiness of reply. Feeble excuse centres around my not activating the reply button to my post. Anyway, thanks for your interest and suggestions. Very helpful. I also took opportunity to look at your impressive portfolio, which beautifully captures the atmospherics of your wetlands.
As to my trip - virus allowing - its going to be short; so I am particularly grateful for your steer towards Byron Almquist's caper. I've also taken a peep at Mr Campanella's output. Looks more than enough keep my attention focused until next March.
Again, many thanks for your help and advice.
Cordially,
Dick Kenny
