  • 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…

  • Rare Fog

    This is it. The very first picture I made in New Orleans. Unlike some of the others in this series, it wasn’t exactly lost. I just hadn’t seen the original scan in a long time. Yes. Scan. This image was made on film. In 1999. In June, if my mind isn’t playing tricks on me.…

  • Once Upon a Time

    Once. When I actually chased the light. I used to make a lot of pictures like this. I don’t do it anymore. Maybe I should. But, for some reason the enjoyment left me. Maybe it’s just the thing that is the hardest about making reasonably good pictures. Do you wonder what that thing is? It’s…

  • One More Time

    It happens in threes. That’s what they say. I suppose that depends on which three you mean. For me, it was a friend, Bernie Jones, with whom I worked in my newspaper days. That was a couple of weeks ago. Then, Anacaleto. And, yesterday it was Pete Turner. I knew them all. I didn’t know…

  • French Quarter Windows

    I see things. Details. Windows. Nooks. Crannies. I’ve probably photographed this store widow five or six times. Usually at night. Evening light, plus the lights in the window, make these mannequin legs look sort of garish. In daylight they look just fine. Toning down the color a little and adding a little softness makes them…

  • Jackson Square

    First and foremost. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the people who live along the Gulf Coast in Texas. Twelve years ago, they came for us. Now, it’s our turn. Whatever they need. Whenever they need it. You’d have to have been here and gone through a major storm to really feel it deep…

  • Stairway

      Lagniappe. That’s what this was. A little lagniappe. That’s a Louisiana French word that means a little gift. Or, a little bit more. This picture is the result of a little more. I was meeting some friends. We decided to meet at St. Louis Cathedral since it is the major landmark of The French Quarter.…

  • A Fine Day

    You know that I don’t usually work during mid-day hours. But, every now and then rules are made to be broken. Even if I made the rules. Which is a whole other discussion of another day. Look at it. The scene was perfect. The red carriages contrasting against the fresh greens of spring and the…
