EUGENE A. DELCROIX b. 1891, New Orleans, Louisiana d. 1967, New Orleans, Louisiana A Foggy Morning in the Place d’Armes, 1938 Photograph; 7 x 5 in. The Historic New Orleans Collection Eugene Delcroix, best known for photographs of soft focus and indistinct details, could practice straight (that is, unmanipulated) photography with the best of his peers. In a career that began in the 1910s and lasted into the 1960s, Delcroix’s photography ranged from studio portraiture to scenes of murky cypress swamps, and from high school yearbook photographs to French Quarter ironwork. Born in the Carrollton section of New Orleans, Delcroix also spent some of his childhood on Grand Isle, Louisiana, where his mother was a school teacher. Numerous scenes on and near this southernmost portion of Jefferson Parish are extant in his archive.
