Ernest Joseph Bellocq (1873 – 1949) was an American professional photographer who worked in New Orleans during the early 20th century. Bellocq is remembered for his haunting photographs of the ladies of Storyville, New Orleans' legalized red-light district. These have inspired novels, poems and films, but were considered illegal at the time they were taken. Tomb Do You LoveTomb Do You Love is the only nonprofit in New Orleans that focuses specifically on tomb restoration. In many New Orleans cemeteries, experts estimate that 80% of the tombs are abandoned. Time, neglect, the elements, and unfortunately vandalism threaten to permanently destroy these marble and brick and mortar monuments that symbolize our city’s history. TDYL is dedicated to restoring New Orleans cemeteries one tomb at a time. The New Orleans Storyville MuseumThe New Orleans Storyville Museum was created to provide visitors with an educational and entertaining account of the city’s unique and rich history — from its founding as a French colonial settlement in 1718, through its golden age of economic growth, culture and vice in the 1800s, to the early 1900s, when Storyville reigned as the largest and most ostentatious quasi-legal red-light district the United States has ever known—offering patrons from around the world live music, entertainment, gambling, and wide-open prostitution.
