Early last week I was in New Orleans for a conference. When I arrived on Monday I spent most of the afternoon walking around the French Quarter taking photos. New Orleans has its fair share of street artists. I categorize them into two groups, passive and active.

Here are two examples below. On the left is an 'active' type who was singing outside Cafe Du Monde. He and his partner were doing an amazing job. On the right is a 'passive' type. This pixie statue just stood there motionless. However, if you put some change in her basket she would spring to life and twinkle you with pixie dust.

New Orleans is an eclectic town.
