A couple captured by Claire Bangser for her "Nola Beings" project, which combines street photography with a quote from each subject.

The online photo and text project Nola Beings features one portrait of New Orleanians each day, with a quote that tells part of their life story.

Creator of "Nola Beings" hopes the project helps us see each other in new ways.

Creator Claire Bangser started Nola Beings three years ago, as a way to explore the city and its people. WWNO’s Eve Troeh asked Bangser to record some audio with her latest round of Nola Beings profiles, and share some snippets of her conversations.
