And then… It got weird. I thought I would publish a few experiments on the last day of the year. And, leave you wondering if I’m really okay. No worries. I am. I didn’t get into too much holiday cheer. And, the down sides of 2016 didn’t get too deep into me. I just decidedContinue reading “And, Then…”

Wet and Cold
Weather. There is saying in New Orleans. It goes something like this. People think we don’t have four seasons. They are wrong. We just have all of them in 24 hours. That’s just what happened. Warm and humid to cold and dreary. In under 24 hours. I took the dog who sees stuff for aContinue reading “Wet and Cold”
2016
2016. What could I write that hasn’t been already written? It’s been a rough year. It doesn’t seem to want to let go. There’s also been some wonderful moments. Especially when you look at them at a more granular level. Dig in. Forget all the noise. Just listen to the signal. In my case allContinue reading “2016”
Night Tree
Winter. The temperatures are supposed to be low. They aren’t. The air is supposed to be clear and bracing. It isn’t. Today’s temperature is supposed to be 78 degrees. For the past few days the humidity was so bad that everything was drippy wet. But, without rain. The humidity manifest itself as fog. But, that’s notContinue reading “Night Tree”
Season’s End
Holiday season. These are my last two pictures of the 2016 holiday season. I didn’t make a lot of “big” Christmas pictures this year. I didn’t feel like it. As we all know, the passing year was a rough one. 2016 was hard on everybody. I guess it shows. Especially, since I believe all artContinue reading “Season’s End”
In the Dark
A Christmas night visit turned into a picture. A kind of spooky little picture. Full of shadows and mystery. Hiding places. And, fog. This is what happens when you take a camera everywhere. I anticipated taking a few Christmas pictures with old friends. But, on the way I saw light peeking through shadows and couldn’t resist.Continue reading “In the Dark”
On Christmas Day
First. The important stuff. Merry Christmas. And, no we didn’t. You know that saying? “Sometimes the hardest part of taking a picture is getting there?” Well. We didn’t get there. We ate too much heavy Russian food. “It’s a Wonderful Life” was playing on the television. Everybody was full. Happy. Very lazy. Nobody felt like driving 50Continue reading “On Christmas Day”
Swampy Christmas
Christmas Eve. Day. A quick look at Christmas in Uptown New Orleans. Yes. We decorate palm trees. And, other swampy stuff. We even turn on our air conditioners for Christmas. Some of the potholes even get decorated. The pictures. Well you know. See them. Photograph them.
Christmas Trees
It’s almost here. Christmas. Today is the day before the day before. Excitement is in the air. Everybody is being good. Even the dogs. Packages are arriving… to our neighbor’s houses. Because we don’t want anybody to know where they are coming from. Very, very sneaky in this house. For us, Christmas Eve is the thing.Continue reading “Christmas Trees”
