Below are links to photos of Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco bands from Louisiana posted on Flickr. Also included are links to photos of the most recent Mardi Gras in rural Acadiana. Flick pages allow access to high resolution images. The photos were taken by David Simpson, who retired in May 2009 from LSU at Eunice.
The Flee Project, headquartered in Paris, France, has published "Courir," a 128-page book of Mardi Gras courir photographs taken by David Simpson (whose photos have been uploaded to Flickr and are indexed on the cajunzydecomusic web pages). The book was designed by Flee Project co-founder Olivier Duport, He selected the photos from Simpson's extensive archive of photos taken over the last thirty years.
