  • Festival, Fear and a Little Fun

    Well, here we go. The weather has cooled off a bit in New Orleans. That means a couple of things. Tourists arrive in droves. And, the festival season starts. Oh yeah. Halloween gets thrown in there too. From about now until late November, there are more festivals on any given weekend than some places have…

  • And, On The Fourth of July

    I’m not really a big fireworks kind of guy. So, while I was thinking about what to post today, I came up with the idea of a collection of Americana pictures. So here we go.

  • A Little Red

    Not just any red. Fuzzy dice red. With an American flag. I thought I’d post this as a walk up to a long Memorial Day weekend. Originally it was called Decoration Day and it was established to honor the Union war dead who were killed during the Civil War (In The United States — for…

  • Too Many Pictures

    I never thought that I would say this, but for the month of April I made too many pictures. As I was starting to “curate” — old guys like me call it edit — my April picture a day project, I realized that I made way more images than I needed for the 30 day…

  • Lovely Faces

    In New Orleans, there are parades for just about any reason. We celebrate two weeks of Mardi  Gras season with a seemingly unending number of parades. There are parades that celebrate the life of someone who has newly passed; these are jazz funerals. There are second line parades which wind throug the neighborhoods for almost…

  • Happy Easter

    There doesn’t seem to be much to add to that except to tell you were the picture was made. My favorite street in Albuquerque is Edith Blvd. It starts as a fairly normal urban road as you leave central Albuquerque, but eventually peters out into a two lane country road and finally it turns into…

  • America

    America. Today is the The Fourth of July. I received an email from Michelle Obama talking about veterans. I read a Facebook post from a friend of mine talking about veterans and freedom. Those are perfectly fine sentiments, but… We have a Veterans Day for living veterans and a Memorial Day for those veterans who…

  • The Cost of Freedom

    Need I write more? All the words that can be written, have been written. Please remember one thing today. We have modified the meaning of today’s holiday to include all veterans. That’s a good thing. But, today is really about the heros who never came home. They paid the ultimate price. Pray for them. Pray…

  • Sense of Place

    I‘m done with botanicals and I haven’t really started working on the old black and white material  and I’m not ready for the newest material since it is still marinating so I thought I’d jump ahead to some new plans. I’m not sure where in the world I’ll photograph this, but for an ongoing project…
