  • Sometime Just A Leaf

    Something like fall. Or, as we like to say down here, ha, ha, ha. The thermometer says that it’s 94 degrees. The humidity is in the 90% range and some of the leaves are changing colors. It is true that we are getting a cold front later today. The temperature won’t drop much, but the…

  • Sometimes Just The Sky

    My eyes. I see things that others might not. I think this is the part of photography that can’t be taught. This is where talent comes into play. It’s not artistic talent. It’s not like being able to paint. Or, play music. That’s talent. Seeing is something else entirely. It’s something given to those of…

  • The Greens of Summer

    Summertime. I know summer started a few weeks ago, but I wanted to show you a few pictures from my past. So, the real colors of summer start on July 1, in the age of the pandemic. The picture is pretty. It looks and feels like a rich, verdant summer lawn. With a golden leaf…

  • To Live

    Life. In its purest form. Water droplets on a green leaf. A symbol. An icon. A touchstone. Water and wonderful deep green. Technically, it’s spring for another five days. It feels like summer in Southeastern Louisiana. The green of this leaf tells us that. It is not light, nor is it shading towards lime green.…

  • The Big Unknown

    It began this way. It began with a sunny, pleasant day. The kind we, in the swamp, have in mid-April. We are a little lucky. Normally by this time summer appears, which means six months of heat, humidity and rain. The all seeing dog seems to be feeling better. We took two longish walks and…

  • Bittersweet

    Day Seven. I work from home a lot. If I’m reading tweets and comments in Facebook correctly a lot of people are already on the path from craziness to lunacy. They don’t like being home. They are finding out a lot about themselves, their spouses, their children and their pets. Mostly they don’t like each…

  • About the Season

    I saw a leaf. My normal instinct would be to photograph it in situ. Instead, I brought it home. I worked on it in the studio. I simplified the picture by photographing the leaf by itself, on a light table. The result was pretty good. That was just a start. I knew it would be…

  • A Good Way to Start

    Drifting. Floating. It’s pretty much the same thing. Air. Water. Does it matter? It’s gentle. A good way to start the week. I made the picture on Sunday. You’ll see it on Monday. Either way. It’s the beginning of the week. For some of you. I’d tell you more. But, what’s to tell? Enjoy it…

  • On This Sunday

    A Sunday picture. An experimental picture. A short tale. The Indians await. I made a picture of trees as I often do. At this time of year they are about rebirth. And, nature’s cycles. I did some gentle post-production. The picture was fine. I decided to play. To tinker. I turned a vertical picture on…
