Early Days
On Lundi Gras. The Monday before the big Tuesday. It’s obvious that I’ve become very interested in IA technology. I’ve set my own ground rules. The base art must be my own, as in my photograph. The big complaint is that IA software scrapes the real data from billions of pictures. That’s not true. It…

What You Could See
I think I well photograph a little Mardi Gras. The Universe needs a little inbound positive energy for my friend, Chris. I don’t think I can take and take and take… Besides, looking a this older work makes me happy. That counts for something. Right.

Magic & Luck
M agic and luck. I was listening to a podcast yesterday. The host was chatting with Mike Campbell. In case you don’t know his name, he plays guitar very well. So well, in fact, that he is a founder of the Heartbreakers with the late Tom Petty. He played in the proto-Heartbreakers band called Mudcrunch.…

You Want It Brighter

They work from behind. They work from across the street. They often shoot from the hip so that their subjects don’t see them. I…
