Yoour article on Storyville is very good. According to Al Rose who wrote the book on Storyville the faces were scratched off by Bellocq's brother who was a priest. There are only one or two buildins left from Storyville. Read about the BLUE BOOK published by the Madames who were advertising their grils and their specialities. A most interesting time in the BIG EASY.
nice pictures... too bad the models are depicted as mere prostitutes. Being from New Orleans and a model myself I despise the roles you had your models play. Just because their nude doesn't make them storyville harlots. I do understand your sentiment to bring back the vibe of storyville...it has vanished, along with the era. Maybe your photos should depict something else? hmmm...
