  • Back To It

    I made this picture one late afternoon that turned into night on one of my infrequent trips to Algiers on the Westbank. He’s riding on the levee. Algiers is an interesting neighborhood. While most of the Westbank is located in Jefferson Parish, Algiers is located in Orleans Parish, making it a neighborhood in New Orleans.…

  • Magic And Light

    I posted this photograph on Instagram. I don’t usually cross post, but it’s popular there so I thought you should see it too. This is probably the most well known location in New Orleans. St. Louis Cathedral is a destination for everyone, not just Catholics who go to church there. Aside from the outside European…

  • Minimal

    Minimalism. A lot of people talk about it. Marie Kondo talks about to the point of making a career out of it. Photographers and artists talk about it. It was a little trendy. I tend to like it both in my art and personal life. We are in the middle of thinning out our stuff…

  • River Road

    River Road. With a few breaks here and there, you can travel almost to Baton Ridge from New Orleans on a seemingly country road that runs along both the East and West banks of the Mississippi River. If you are a bicyclist you can ride most of that distance on the top of the levee…

  • Riverboats and Other Light

    I think this will be the last picture about light in this series and for this week. The picture is a combination of luck and a little bit of knowledge. I could see the light changing so I headed to the river. That’s the knowledge. I didn’t count on the light changing so much and…

  • Uptown Light

    Somewhere in yesterday’s post about the broken house in the good neighborhood, I promised that I would show you a little bit of the area. What I didn’t tell you was the quality of the post storm dusk light. I’m not sure I realized what I’d photographed. Whewwwwwwww… I really didn’t look at it very…

  • That Light

    Light. I talked a lot about a few days ago. It’s the main ingredient in photographs. There’s light and then there’s light. This was the latter. Big light. Magenta and gold light. It’s come to New Orleans a couple of times this year. Usually after big storms. Once the clouds blow out and the sun…

  • Mid City

    There is a place in New Orleans called Mid City. It actually includes bits of a lot of neighborhoods. It’s big. It’s also blue-collar and there is little or no tourists stuff there. It’s a real neighborhood. A lot of famous streets pass through it. Canal Street. Carrollton. Tulane Avenue which is the terminus of…

  • Desire

    A Streetcar Named Desire. Yep. This is the street where the line ended after making its way from The French Quarter. It connected a lot of service people with their work at hotels and restaurants  in The Quarter. It was replaced by buses in 1948. For more about that, go here. http-::www.neworleanshistorical.org:items:show:542#.UhjODGRASvs As you know by…
