In the middle of things. That’s how I like to work. Sheesh. I’m in the middle of the band. I’m making pictures with a 10mm lens. That means I’m close. Real close. I might even be in trouble. Check out the saxophone player. He doesn’t look too happy. He might be looking past me. Or,Continue reading “The Street”

More Color
Krewe du Vieux number three. Although there are still more pictures from a surprisingly good shoot, I think it’s time to move on. After all, I did manage to sneak in a second line parade in on Sunday. And, there are all sorts of Mardi Gras things hanging around the city. They need photographing too.Continue reading “More Color”
Krewe du Vieux Part Deux
Day number two of one night in New Orleans. A little more from the start of the Krewe du Vieux parade. I suppose that I have turned events in opportunities to make my picture. Or, pictures. I really don’t have the connections to be in places that say “this is Mardi Gras.” Like access toContinue reading “Krewe du Vieux Part Deux”
Krewe du Vieux
And, so. It begins. With Krewe du Vieux. The adults parade. Every Mardi Gras parade has a theme. This one is no different. Bienville’s 300th Wet Dream. They attacked everybody this year, from the mayor — an obvious choice — to John Besh, who was the first of the big name chefs that was takenContinue reading “Krewe du Vieux”
Deep, Dark and Moody
Questions. Questions. Questions. I made this picture. It’s another image created almost from whole cloth. I made a kind of Mardi Gras picture as well. I thought that might be more appropriate since Mardi Gras parade season starts tonight. Then, I thought, I like this picture. I’ll probably drown you in Mardi Gras pictures forContinue reading “Deep, Dark and Moody”
There’s a World
There’s a world. The winter world. It came. It will go. Like all things in life. A friend of mine is excited that there are buds on the Japonica trees. The cold weather followed by a bit of warmth forced the buds. She said. Nope. Japonicas start to show buds in late january. They startContinue reading “There’s a World”
Headed in the Right Direction
It’s all a matter of perspective. This picture, for instance, looks like a sunset. It’s not. It’s a reflection of a sunset. It’s all optics and physics. This picture is made looking south and east. Since when does the sun set in the east? It confused me for a while until I realized that theContinue reading “Headed in the Right Direction”
S Whole Lotta Red
I thought this picture was about red. And, just how lucky I was to find color in the middle of a fairly drab and dreary winter. It wasn’t until I started editing in post production that I saw what the picture is really about. Connections. Look closely. Look at the red branches that connect oneContinue reading “S Whole Lotta Red”
Two Sides
This picture. Moody. Mysterious. Maybe even a little evil. I didn’t see it quite that way when I made the picture. But, once I started working on it. Tinkering with it. Pushing it. That’s when I started to see it. The picture became something else. I would say that I did it. No. The pictureContinue reading “Two Sides”
