  • Once Upon A Time

    Once upon a time, back in the late 1990s, I lived on this street. Right in the building with the bar sign on it. No. I didn’t live in the bar. That sign is painted on the wall of a 23 story apartment building. In those days, Staunton Street was a quiet backwater neighborhood street…

  • Nature

    So. I went out looking for one kind of picture. I came back with this. What’s a young photographer to do? Or, an old one. For that matter. The picture? Walk around and find it. When I did. I made a few frames. 158 to be exact. I got my shoes wet. And, I almost…

  • Back To Memphis

    I’ve been doing a number of projects at one time. That includes traveling, photographing, managing someone else and working on a huge amount of post production of files that I’ve produced over the past month. When it comes to post production, mostly I’ve been working on the Memphis blues project. I work on it as…

  • Weird Scenes

    Photographing Mardi Gras parades are usually a study in marathon running. Or something like that. It’s gruelling. It’s a lot of walking. It’s physical. It’s also pretty repetitive from year to year. So, this year I had to make two things happen. Since I’m in the middle of another very busy year, I had to…

  • A Dog’s Life

    Yes. Sunday and Mardi Gras. About dogs. And their people. From my point of view, the main parade yesterday was the Krewe of Barkus. Yes. Barkus. Bark. Bark. Bark. Except these dogs were all pretty good. They visited with each other before showtime. Then they walked throughout The French Quarter. It was their parade. The…

  • Bad Day

    Yes. It was a bad day in Central City yesterday. After a parade rolled down Martin Luther King Blvd to honor the late Doctor King, shots rang out and five young people were shot. I don’t need to write about the horrible irony in that.  I don’t believe any of them were killed. Despite watching…

  • Sometimes I Walk

    Well. Mostly I like to walk. Trains. Planes. And, automobiles. They are just for getting someplace quickly. To see. To really see, you have to walk. Walking gives you just enough time to see what’s coming and to react in order to make the picture. And, you can see the details. The devil is in…

  • Merry Christmas

    That’s all I was going to write. Nothing more. And, post this picture. But, something happened that I want to tell you all about. I got lost. I rarely get lost even when I try to get lost. It’s just an instinct that I have. In my defense, getting to either Gramercy or Lutcher from…

  • House On Teddy Bear Corner

    This house in known as the Teddy Bear House. It contains over 11,000 teddy bears from the collection of Ricky . He opens the house for tours for two days during Christmas Season. Tickets cost $10 and benefit the Krewe of Armeinius. What does that krewe do? I don’t know really. Here’s what I found…
