Hermann-Grima House

Detail of a plaque on this house (put your cursor over the different rooms on the linked floorplan for interior shots that were sized for browsers circa 2002). This one was taken from an off-street, semi-hidden courtyard. The house was built in 1831. I had to convince Heather that this date was well before I was born.

The house in question is located 820 Saint Louis Street (courtyard can be seen here).

I walked through this courtyard in 2009 and missed this plaque entirely. Sometimes it takes a few walks through a space before you see something that might work. This is a mega crop, one that I wouldn’t do with a lower megapixel image. It’s pushing the boundaries as it is. This is why the full frame sensor, high megapixel cameras appeal to me; creative leeway.
