  • Witches, Ghosts and Michael Myers

    Here it is. The day of the big night. The night when stuff used to burn in Detroit, when eggs were thrown at houses of people who yelled, “Hey! You kids stay offa my lawn,” when the houses of popular kids were tp’d (Kids used to wrap houses, trees, cars even dogs with toilet paper.…

  • Trick, Forget The Treat

    Once again, I’m on the phone. Tomorrow will be different they say. Anyway. Let’s get to Halloween, the best night of the year.

  • Happy Mardi Gras

    We ate it. If truth be told since carnival season began on January 6, we ate three. Three king cakes. During a normal Mardi Gras year we’d eat way more than that, but they’d be consumed at the brunch that we would have had yesterday. The subject of this picture is what’s left after eating…

  • Seven Days From The Big Day

    Light and color. Rather the lack of color. I always say that when you have to explain the picture that you didn’t do a good job. I guess I didn’t. It’s two members of the Krewe of Cleopatra dancing in the street. I guess what I really like is the movement passing through the very…

    Would you all please do something for me? Look to the left. Look to the right. Look up. Look down. Look in whichever way you’d like. Give thanks for whatever you see. Happy Thanksgiving, y’all.

  • Still

    More skeletons. Seems like I could be on an archeological dig, the way dem bones keep turning up. Of course, I’m not, but they all have interesting shapes to me. Even though I don’t always pay attention to the numbers, they seem to have tanked this week as I started publishing Halloween pictures. It seems…

  • On This Day

    On Thanksgiving Day. I wish you peace. I wish you thankfulness. I wish you joy. I wish you happiness. Most of all, I wish you art. Photographic art. Painted art. Sculpted art. Written art. Musical art. All art. — Ray

  • A Little Late

    This a little late. I know. I know. I posted this on Instagram and Facebook. I realized that most of you hadn’t seen it. That was too bad because I really like this picture, especially in black and white. To be honest, I overlooked it. In color it didn’t do much for me. Given that…
