Mardi Gras 1956- Masked Girls

By Tess

I keep an eye out for older amateur photos of New Orleans, and recently picked up a collection of slides from Mardi Gras 1956 that is half parades and half crowd participation.

I love these…both innocent and what passed for racy at the time. The kid who jumped in beside them, the one watching in awe, the older guy with the camera on the right- love the accidental composition.

About NNO

Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~

I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

So now I own a NOLA-themed shop , and am part time at the Preservation Resource Center, which works to "preserve the historic neighborhoods that make New Orleans unique." I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and play in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
