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…

Noticing
We looked at each other and we knew. That’s how it started years ago. It happened again today while we were listening to a podcast. That’s nothing new. We listen to four or five a day. But this one. Ezra Klein talks to Rick Rubin. For those who don’t know, Rubin is an A class…

What Have We Lost?
We read a lot. Blogs. Newspapers. Magazines. Podcasts. (Listen to, not read) One favorite author is Margaret Rynkl who mostly writes for the New York Times. She covers just about everything south from a very gentle perspective. Today, she said, “You’re pointing your camera the wrong way.” She was mostly referring to the billions of…

Cold, Cold, Cold
W hen I talk about photographing on assignment many people think it’s all glamour and excitement.

Getting back to strictly photography, I once wrote that I…

Nothing Normal
R arely do I ever see fog in The French Quarter. One time during the Christmas season I did. I was shocked. I almost dropped my cameras. I almost fell in the river. The muddy Mississippi River. The river that is polluted from all the oil and other stuff dropped from the big ocean going…

And, so…
O kay, okay. I got a little crazy. What do you expect from a guy who loves photographing Mardi Gras but can’t? So, I thought that I would show you a little bit of what I saw over the past few years. I’ll continue doing it for the next two weeks, but I won’t post…

Begin Again
I t’s funny. I meant what I said. I don’t seem to be able to make a picture, or at least a meaningful one. Even this one. It’s just a bunch of old pictures stuck on top of each other. I have no idea why I can’t seem to work. I’m sure two years of…
