  • What You Could See

    I think I well photograph a little Mardi Gras. The Universe needs a little inbound positive energy for my friend, Chris. I don’t think I can take and take and take… Besides, looking a this older work makes me happy. That counts for something. Right.

  • Archival Mardi Gras

    Mardi Gras past. Y’all know I’ll be a little busy while I’m in New Orleans so I thought I’d dig around in my archives and show you a few pictures you may not have seen. Color, energy, motion, joy. And, beads.

  • Week Two

    A fter a short break, I am back at it. Mardi Gras parade season week two. It’s at this point that I start needing a break. It’s likely that I’ve worked for six days in a row, day and night. The break came yesterday when there are no parades. Now work would normally run straight…

  • Hot, Like Fire

    Flambeaux. New Orleans is steeped in traditions. I could go on forever, but let’s limit it to the subject at hand.
