“Life doesn’t wave as it’s speeding by. Better grab on fast and hold on tight. And don’t ever forget to fight this good fight. Here I am.” It’s a calling. I make pictures for myself first, and then for everybody else. I’m there for myself but being there for everybody else comes in a closeContinue reading “Here I Am”

Where Are The Americans?
Understanding. That’s what we all need. Coming together would be great too, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. We are just too divided. We can’t abide a disagreement without hating the other guy. That’s stupid. Joe Biden looks like he has a great shot at winning the presidency. It’s more important than IContinue reading “Where Are The Americans?”
America’s Children
And, so it begins. Election Day. At least it is the official day. Some 97 million citizens have already voted. This election is a really, really big deal. It’s been discussed, written about, polled and screamed about, so there is no need for my recap. There isn’t much more to say about today. If youContinue reading “America’s Children”
Goin’ Back
The stuidity must go on. Who in their right mind designed these grids? You cannot even do the simplest of designs with the block(head) system. Where I come from pictures don’t float around on white space for no reason. Pictures stay about a pica apart. I know. What’s a pica? It’s a small measuring unit.Continue reading “Goin’ Back”
Color of the Sun
Relaxation. For most of us the water does it. We get heated up in the sunlight, cool off with a dip in the pool. And, if you are smart you just let yourself float and drift around like this guy. I’ve seen him in the past. I waited and watched, I showed some restraint andContinue reading “Color of the Sun”
Standing Aside
I’m sort of at a loss what to call this mini portfolio. It’s mostly about how people — both krewes and spectators — prepare to roll or catch beads. I call this collection, “Standing Aside,” but that’s not exactly right. I suppose it doesn’t matter. The pictures are of things that I saw during theContinue reading “Standing Aside”
On a Rainy Night
Rain. Wet streets. The whole place is glowing. Neon. Color. Reflections. As a wise man once said, “when the weather turns bad, the pictures get good. And, so they do. These so-called lost files having been showing me the way. I’m glad that I’ve worked through this little series. There is so much more thatContinue reading “On a Rainy Night”
Best Twelve
I didn’t quite make it. Not because I couldn’t stand it. Instead, I realized that “best of” collections are best done before the turn of the year. Not on the first, or second of January when I said I would return. Instead, I’m back. Sort of. On December 31, 2018. Tomorrow is January 1, 2019.Continue reading “Best Twelve”
Rare Fog
This is it. The very first picture I made in New Orleans. Unlike some of the others in this series, it wasn’t exactly lost. I just hadn’t seen the original scan in a long time. Yes. Scan. This image was made on film. In 1999. In June, if my mind isn’t playing tricks on me.Continue reading “Rare Fog”
