  • Quarter Notes

    The French Quarter. It’s a tourist destination within a tourist destination. Many people come to New Orleans and never leave it. That’s too bad because there’s plenty more to see and do. This isn’t about that. This is about scenes that I saw while I was roaming the Quarter’s streets. I’m not a big fan…

  • Magic and Light

    Sometimes I get Lucky. Very lucky. I wasn’t even going to go to the Quarter. I went. I couldn’t find parking in my usual far away place. I drove through the streets until a parking place almost right in back of the cathedral appeared. That was luck too. I started walking through the streets, making…

  • 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…

If you’ve wandered around the streets of Paris going into neighborhoods that aren’t on the tourist must see list, you’ll see buildings like this one. In The…

  • Just Another Day

    A major discussion took place in my brain. It was along the lines of save it or hold it. Knowing that I would probably lose it within my archives. Rather than hold it, I published it. Obviously, it’s just another day in New Orleans. No. No. No. It’s Halloween. The very night of the holiday…

  • Fever Dreams

    F antasy. Yes and no. New Orleans does occasionally get a little snow about once a decade whether it needs it or not. But, I made this snow. I pretty much made the entire picture which started out as blue. You know me. I like to fool around, tinker and play. I did all of…
