About Me
Parker Waters Photo.com
I was born and raised in Fort Walton Beach, FL and moved to New Orleans to attend Tulane University. While at Tulane, I took some photography classes and it was there that my interest developed. I also fell in love with the city and all that it offers in terms of history, architecture, culture and food. And, it just so happens, it's a great place for photography! In addition to the these loves for the city, I am a season ticket holder and big fan of both the New Orleans Saints and Hornets, and I ride in a Mardi Gras krewe. I am one of those who is "Proud to call New Orleans Home".
Over the years, I have given thousands of pictures away to friends, family and admirers of my photography. I'm often asked, "are you a professional photographer'? I've always wrestled with what constitutes the jump from amateur to professional. All I know is that I enjoy photography. I enjoy capturing that perfect moment, seeing something from a different viewpoint or freezing the action so that someone looks at the picture and says, "that's a great shot".
This site represents that jump from amateur to "professional". It is also the realization of a dream in offering my photography services beyond a circle of friends and family. I am a proud member of the Society of Sport and Event Photographers and the New Orleans Photo Alliance. It is through organizations such as these that I can continue to learn and grow in the profession that I love.
I would like to thank those of you who have used my services and have also recommended me to others. It is a compliment to have my photography admired, but it is an even greater compliment when my service is suggested to others.

And finally, I would like to thank my wife (Donna) and our three children (Lauren, Ashleigh and Jonathan). I must thank them because it always seemed that I had my camera out during family vacations or events. Thanks for putting up with all of my pictures and thanks for waiting for me all of those times I was off taking pictures of a great scene.
Thanks for visiting my website.
