I believe that by being pain free for the past week or so is resulting in much better seeing. I think my consumption of necessary pain meds created a sort of brain fog. That’s not to say I was walking around loaded out of my mind. I wasn’t. I didn’t. And, I don’t. But, thereContinue reading “Wandering”

Downhill From Everywhere
Yesterday was a day. Did you ever have a day when technology was not your friend? When saved passwords were not saved? When nothing loaded? When the internet was so slow that you had to perform a hard reset? That was yesterday. Let’s hope things go a little better today. Let’s hope people settle down.Continue reading “Downhill From Everywhere”
Only the Song Survives
On Palm Sunday. The world is upside down. Time has no meaning. People are living in fear. Stupidity is the order of the day. Still. There is hope. Even though the current state of change is very negative, there are those of us who think that if we make it to the other side thereContinue reading “Only the Song Survives”
Flowerish
I’m listening to an interesting YouTube video as I write. It’s about “work that matters.” The visual podcast is called The Art of Photography. As the speaker talks, he reminds me of me. He says that a picture should strive for something, that it ought to push the boundaries, that it shows artist growth, andContinue reading “Flowerish”
Not Like Winter
I am NOT laughing at you who live in places where it so terribly cold. Instead, I’m showing you what we get for putting up with New Orleans things. We have a high murder rate (two weekends in a row). We have an ancient water system that breaks every week. We have a terrible streetContinue reading “Not Like Winter”
Your Sunday Greens
“Give me the greens of summer.” So, said Paul Simon. I wonder what he would think about the greens of fall. Because we live in a swamp and have two growing seasons, we do get new foliage growing at what is an odd time of year for the rest of the country. This is anContinue reading “Your Sunday Greens”
Floating
Floating. Above it all. I was walking and I saw a balloon drop out of the sky from nowhere. It was sort of stunning. It was so unexpected. I made a couple of pictures. It floated away. Just like that. Sometimes, that’s how things happen. It’s up to us to accept them, exploit the moment,Continue reading “Floating”
The Return
The return. To the scene. If you read yesterday’s Storyteller you might have an idea of what I mean. Those first pictures of Mardi Gras Indians were made right here, at this place. In a very different time. I made this picture yesterday. I had some business in Treme and other errands around downtown. TheContinue reading “The Return”
Mostly Red
On a late afternoon walk. I saw the backlight on this group of leaves and I couldn’t resist. Could you? Yes. It took some work in post production to help it be the picture that I saw in my mind’s eye. But, it was straight, normal work. I darkened the over all image, added contrastContinue reading “Mostly Red”
