STORYTELLER

Tag: Travel Photography

  • This Is The City I was working in Los Angeles, which was fun because I grew up there, well, really in Long Beach, which is different but kind of the same. I was doing another book assignment with a long list of potential subjects. One was The Disney Music Hall. I wandered around the entire…

  • 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…

  • 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.…

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…

  • Closing The South (Finally)

    You know why I went to Atlanta. I was fortunate. I made a lot of pictures that I like and just lingered in my archives. I don’t know why. Maybe there is hope yet. I was contacted by a stock agency a couple of days ago. I have no interest in traditional stock agencies≥ I’m…

  • Life In The City

    This is what I call a representational photography. I made it in one city, but it could be in any downtown. It’s a symbol. An icon. A placeholder. This is a great example of photographer’s luck. Finding a location where I could make straight on image at the most wonderful time of day is not…
