Dear Angelhunter1010, Please let me know where you are from. Louisiana is what I call home. I lived in Shreveport,Campti,Many and Natchitoches,La. Please email me-angellady65661@yahoo.c om. Your pictures are so beautiful they make me feel close to home!

said angellady65661 2005.10.03 at 20:40:01 PDT

Hi Barbara, just found your Louisiana album & really did enjoy it. At first I thought some of the swamp pics were right here in SW LA. Sure looks similar to this area. I was born & raised here & wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I have a Louisiana Beauty album on my site as well. I'm not the photographer that you are but I'm getting better at it I think. Thanks for sharing your talent & shots here. Mary

My family is moving to Louisiana from upstate NY so my daughter can go to LSU. We are really looking forward to the move. I love your pictures, I'll probably download all of them. I've got some pictures at Webshot also, but mine of an old Queen Anne house we refurbished. Again love the pictures, can't wait to live there.

Hi Barbara, You definitely found a swamp lover, this is a great shot and also the forgotten place. Have you all ever traveled North up around Cotton Valley or Pain Dealing? The tornado 6 0r 7 years ago took the old home place, but not all the memories. Keep on going down memory lane, it's a great trip. Larry

Hi Barbara, Actually we live in Deer Lodge; some friends of ours from Baton Rouge have the forty in Boulder. I'm new to the digital photography and have just started using it for pictures other than the projects. I have a 4.1 Mega Pixel Sony, with a 128 mb memory stick; this would give me storage of 164 pictures. I have set the little camera to the highest pixel possible and in doing so have cut my storage down to down to 72 picture's, with a much better quality. The safety manager that I had on the project is a professional photographer has a Sigma that is awesome, but very expensive. He bought it when they first came out for $2,000 and now they are down to about $1,500, It has a tremendous zoom and takes very detailed close ups. I may try one of these in the future, when they are a little less expensive. We will be in South Louisiana for Thanksgiving (fried Turkey)and I want to get some pictures down around Belle River and the Pierre Part area. Best Regards Larry

said lak444 2004.10.21 at 14:00:41 PDT

Hi Barbara I finally finshed up in Mexico and made it back to Montana. I have down loaded a couple of your shots from Lake Bistineau to add to my screen savers, you do fine work, keep it up and best regards Larry.

I can't say that I've seen any this beautiful though. You have captured some very amazing shots of God's beauty untouched by man here. I do hope to see more. I don't travel much, but this is one place I would now love to see. Do you take photo shots for a living?
