  • One More Month

    Patience. I don’t have enough of it. At least I think that I don’t. But, I’ve been around this place for twelve years. That indicates a kind of patience. Doesn’t it? I have to question my choice about staying around for so long. This is the time of year when I look at numbers and…

  • From A Different Place

    G uess, will you please guess where I took this picture? Unless you’ve been here you’ll never figure it out. I made this picture photographing a book project in — wait for it — Las Vegas. Wait? What? At the time when I worked on the project there were a group of very upscale, sleek…

  • Working For A Living

    A ugust. This is when strong people turn weird. Myself included. After all, this the month of big hurricanes. First came Katrina. On August 29, 2005. Then came Ida. On August 29, 2021. If that doesn’t spook you, nothing will. Katrina was the more destructive of the two, although Ida did her mean spirited thing.…

  • Paris, Not Paris

    P aris, France. Paris, Texas. There are 48 places named Paris in the world. I’d list them but you’d either get bored or crazy. There is this one. Paris on Las Vegas Boulevard, or as it is commonly called The Strip. This Paris is a casino, hotel and underground shopping mall that is designed and…

  • Angles

    S unday. The middle day of a so-called long weekend. I have almost no idea of what to write. I really haven’t paid attention to the news, except for baseball. That’s very intentional. Everyone needs a break from what has become madness. Baseball is life. The season is so long that there are ups and…

  • Christmas Stuff

    So. The next 7 days will be about Christmas. Hopefully, you’ll like that. Most of what I do for Christmas pictures is work in various neighborhoods and make pictures of what I see. This one was made through a window looking into a hotel. Not a lobby. Just a window with an open room. See…

  • Summer Clouds

    I keep saying that New Orleans is a sub-tropical place. Our rainy season occurs during the summer months. because of that, even rain isn’t falling, we usually have some pretty dramatic clouds appearing in the sky. This is one of those pictures that I made on my way to someplace else.  It was made at…

  • What Happens in Las Vegas…

    I mentioned yesterday that I was putting together little “curated” collections of my travel work for a new agency. Rather than put up galleries, I thought I’d show you a few pictures each day. As an overview, I made these pictures on two trips to Las Vegas for a book project. As you know, I…

  • Supposedly Haunted

    In yesterday’s post I talked a little bit about the small St. Bernard Parish town of Algiers. It is really known for two things. Maybe more. But, the two that come to mind is that’s where the Domino sugar plant is located. You can’t miss it. Its smokestacks tower about everything. The second landmark is…
