  • What’s Cooking?

    I like to eat. You like to eat. I also like to cook, but not all the time. Musical Miss is a better cook than I am, but she doesn’t like to cook everyday. So, we go out to eat in restaurants, cafes or buffets. Well, buffets are out with the arrival of CoVid and…

  • 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…

  • What You Thought You Saw

    There are two things that this photograph represents. A new technique that I’ve just mastered that sort of smushes the image and its color. So, I’m reworking many of my signature New Orleans pictures. And, two, I’m getting ready to do the deal with the art agency I mentioned a week or so ago. Of…

  • People

    People. Sienfeld says, “They’re the worst.” I disagree. I enjoy working with people. As I work through my archives I’ve discovered a number of unrelated pictures. Odds and ends, you might say. So, I stripped my thinking back to rudimentary subject matter and asked myself what the pictures are about. People. People. People. Everyone of…
