  • Getting There

    They say the journey is as important as the destination. I don’t know who “they” are, but on domestic trips they are right. Traveling internationally is a series of trips rolled into one when you mostly don’t see anything anyway. But, road trips, whether they are by car, train, bus or truck, are when I…

  • Good Luck

    Here we are again. Ugly type that can’t be changed. Watch out WordPress. We are coming for all sorts of digital companies, but mostly AI. It didn’t have to be this way, but it seems that young people (the biggest supports of this new technology) have no sense of morals, no understanding of right from…

  • Sparkle

    After such a long written post yesterday I thought I’d give you a break and write next to nothing. Yesterday’s post had to be written. I needed to talk, hopefully you needed to listen and learn something about Chris and about me. I made this picture many years ago in New Orleans, at dusk in…

  • Left Behind

    When I first arrived in New Orleans I was told a lot of different things about this building. It was said to be a cannon ball manufacturing plant during the Civil War. It may be that there was another building on the land that did make something during the war, but this building was constructed…

  • Quarter Notes

    The French Quarter. It’s a tourist destination within a tourist destination. Many people come to New Orleans and never leave it. That’s too bad because there’s plenty more to see and do. This isn’t about that. This is about scenes that I saw while I was roaming the Quarter’s streets. I’m not a big fan…

  • 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…

  • A Lotta Notes

    Once upon a time I photographed second lines. I retired from that after about eight or nine years of working them. Mostly, the project just ran its course. And, my legs were hurting a lot and the pleasure of walking the street was no longer a pleasure. Luckily, my legs don’t hurt these days. I…

  • Back To It

    I made this picture one late afternoon that turned into night on one of my infrequent trips to Algiers on the Westbank. He’s riding on the levee. Algiers is an interesting neighborhood. While most of the Westbank is located in Jefferson Parish, Algiers is located in Orleans Parish, making it a neighborhood in New Orleans.…

  • 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…
