The "New Orleans Water Meter" is actually a water meter box cover commonly seen throughout the streets of New Orleans. It is so unique and iconic that many companies have started producing New Orleans memorabilia in the form of t-shirts, jewelry, and even coffee table coasters using its likeness. The design of the water meter was created by a man named Edwin Ford circa 1920. Edwin Ford was the founder of the Ford Meter Box company, which was founded in 1898. The water meter covers apparently have a street value of about $100, which is leading thieves to steal them. Theft of the covers started circa 1990 when tourists wanted special souveniers from their stay in New Orleans. Since the thefts, new water meter covers were created with locks on them, but only the stolen covers were replaced. The rest of the covers are still susceptible to theft. Also, some of the stolen covers were replaced with blank ones to prevent theft, which is unfortunate.
I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design from the University of Florida in 1985, and worked in design and advertising for 15 years before becoming a stay-at-home mom. I married my college sweetheart, and we have two almost-grown children. I was born in Philadelphia, but happily consider myself a Florida girl, as I have lived in the beautiful Sunshine State nearly all my life. No longer a slave to client deadlines, I am happy to be creating just the art I want to create at this stage in my life. I love finding beauty in the ordinary--in fact, I rarely ever stage or set-up a photo because I find it's just not necessary. Wonderful images are all around us every day! PLEASE note that the Fine Art America watermark in the bottom...
