  • Real People

    Here are a few of my older portraits. I’ve been organizing them to do something with them. What? I don’t know. I keep saying an addition to my website would be good, or a real old school print portfolio but it seems that I don’t have the time, the place or the energy to get…

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • It Almost Got Away from Me

    Oops. I almost forgot to post my daily photograph. I’ve been building an electronic portfolio among other things and the time just sprinted by. At any rate, I used to live in New Orleans. Then a big storm called Katrina came along and blew me out of the city. It wasn’t so much the wind…

  • Mardi Gras Indian

    One more from New Orleans. This is a young Mardi Gras Indian. He is dressed in a hand made suit of beads and feathers that takes thousands of hours to make and is worth thousands of dollars when it is finished. The Indians usually parade around Mardi Gras, but they come out for other events…
