What a storm. First the phones went off. Tornado warnings. Get under the sink or something like that. First, came the lightning. Big bolts. They lit up the entire sky. For that milli-second, you could see everything. Then the thunder started. The loudest, longest rolls of thunder I think I’ve ever heard. Then, the rainContinue reading “Time After Time”

The Junkman Cometh
A short story. I wrote about the very strong discussions in two groups that I follow. I fixed both of them. I dropped out of the groups. Too much noise, no signal. There is today’s comment. Unless you can peek behind the curtain, and really see the action, you don’t know the truth. The commenterContinue reading “The Junkman Cometh”
I’m Wondering
Music takes me everywhere. I live in a city made of music. I live in a city made of ancient culture. I live in a city full of food. They all seem to be struggling. Musicians can barely earn a living. You see some amazing musicians playing on the street. Some are in between gigs.Continue reading “I’m Wondering”
Towel Man
We all gotta earn a living. Some people sell food. Some people sell water and soft drinks. Some people sell beer and booze. Some people sell little toys. The latest people on the scene sell small towels. Towels? Yep. It’s hot out there. You need something to wipe the sweat off your face. To wipeContinue reading “Towel Man”
Pieces and Parts and Pipes
Pipes. Water pipes. Replacements meant for a lawn sprinkler system. You wouldn’t think people in New Orleans would need it. Sometimes we do. It isn’t just for keeping the lawn green. For some folks a manicured lawn is important. Not for all of us. Sprinkler systems really help when we’ve gone more than a weekContinue reading “Pieces and Parts and Pipes”
Working
Something a little different. For me. More along the lines of what I actually do for money. But, this time it was luck. I went to visit with a friend, parked the car, let the dog walk over me to jump out, looked up and saw this scene. Wowie Zowie. I made a lot ofContinue reading “Working”
In A Different Light
I think that I’ve circled around. I made another version of this picture on a different day. The last time I did this I turned the meters into junk via heavy post production. This time I used a template that I used for something more natural like a flower. I was surprised at how wellContinue reading “In A Different Light”
Working
I was walking by. I asked. She nodded. It’s not what you think. She’s a small business owner. She’s the cleaning person. The bartender. The server. The manager. The book-keeper. From the looks of this, she works about 17 hours a day. Probably six days a week. Sounds fun. Or, not. I suppose anything worthContinue reading “Working”
Faces
I’d rather photograph people. I’d rather make pictures of people by discovery. On the scene. Whatever the scene happens to be. I’d make their portrait without showing the event. This transports them — and me — to another place. As it happens, these three casual portraits were made at various parades. The top two were takenContinue reading “Faces”
