Many years ago I was in New Orleans on a sales blitz with the company I worked for. We all partnered off in twos to saturate the city on sales calls. Well the girl I was partnered with, a local rep of our New Orleans branch, and I decided that our time would be better spent doing touristy things in the city *lol* because I had never been there and she was anxious to show me. We ended up in the Garden District and then over to the Lafayette Cemetery and walked around taking pictures. The rest of the day antiquing, the French Quarter, etc. This was back in the day before digital cameras *lol* and I took 2 or 3 rolls of film that trip. When I got home and had the film processed [it was color film] and looked at the photos for the first time, I was shocked at what I had. All of the pictures were fine and as expected except for those that I took in the Lafayette Cemetery. Those pictures all came back in a sepia tone. Not one of them was in color. It could have been some freak processing accident but it was awfully coincidental that it was only those images from the cemetery that were affected. And yes, I still have the pictures.
