  • A Little Sunday Art

    T his is without question a Sunday picture. Maybe it’s more like an Easter Sunday picture. At any rate, it’s a spring picture. It is one of my brightest pictures in a long while. It is layered and experimental. The base layer is the same as the top layer except it’s been moved around a…

  • Thinking of a Place

    I reckon we could all use a bit of color. It’s Friday. We sort of made it to someplace else. The weekend. I’m not excited about that. Working from home sort of tones that down. But, this is the start of Carnival and that means something even though I can’t photograph it. But, during parade…

  • Summers of the Past

    When there was yellow. When there was color. When this muddy gray didn’t cover everything. When we were happier. When smiles and laughter came easier. When we didn’t have a new worry everyday. I see in color. Some photographers see in black and white. I’m having a hard time seeing color. Things seem muted. Trees…

  • The Dog In Question

    This is very rare. Sophie Rose never poses for a picture. I guess that she felt like it. Or, maybe she knew that I hadn’t made a picture for the day. Anyway. This is the all seeing dog. The dog who finds pictures and waits while I make it. Sometimes, she looks up at me…

  • Bye & Bye

    I needed this picture. The news is grim, getting grimmer. The virus is growing exponentially in New Orleans. I live in a country in desperate need of a leader. Many people, most not from NOLA, are trying to blame the mayor for not cancelling Mardi Gras. None of us knew. We certainly had no direction…

  • For Everyman

    Empty. That’s how I felt when I awoke. As a friend said, we are paused for thirty days.  For some people a deep kind of sadness has settled in. They, like the rest of us, know that the virus will forever change us. All of us. I was reading a thread on Twitter. It was…

  • For Your Day

    This is for you. Sunflowers. Bright, yellow and happy. I made this picture some years back when I lived in The Land of Enchantment, or New Mexico as some people call that fine state. I went there after Hurricane Katrina flooded my city. Well, only 80% of it. Did you ever have that feeling of…

  • The Other One

    The other one. Yesterday, I wrote about seeing a delicate white and yellow flower. The one that I used as a layer behind a pink flower. Welp. This is the original flower with a little post production work done to it. I made it more colorful. I made the file a little more meaty. And,…

  • Ice Cream and Lollipops

    After yesterday’s day of reflection, I needed something different. I’m pretty sure you did too. What to photograph? What to photograph? The best pictures come to you. Right? This one came to me in the grocery store. Every freezer door was clear except for this one. For some reason the ice cream behind this door…
