Translucent
French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana It was getting a little bit dreary around here with all of the crumbling penitentiary photos. Here’s a little bit of bright.
Utterly Dull Title
French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana This week is a killer at work. Big project, short deadline, lots of long days and more ahead. So, my ability to think up creative titles is nonexistent. But, the upside is that the work is actually kind of fun when we’re launching a big project. Also, since I work at home now, I can stay in my PJs all day if I so choose. Now, off to watch some Fawlty Towers to unwind before I go to bed and start over again tomorrow. Man, that show still makes me roll around with laughter.
Voodoo Window
French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana Well, more accurately, “Tacky Tourist Trap Shop Window.” It was across from Preservation Hall, and the display caught my eye while we were waiting for traffic to clear.

Spiderwebs
French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana This is a somewhat rough attempt at a B&W conversion and then some image corrections in Photoshop. I think it’s time for me to stop being bitter that I used to be competent in the darkroom, and bite the bullet and learn how to do it in the digital realm.

Bright Umbrellas on a Rainy Morning
From our trip to New Orleans earlier in the summer. It rained at least once every day we were there, usually in the afternoon. This was a morning shower; we found this scene in an alley across from our hotel as we were walking down the block, to get breakfast. Of course, the first photo I took looked like this: I forgot what happens to your lens when you go from very cold air conditioning to very hot, humid outside. Clearly, I’ve lived in the land of climate, rather than real weather, for a while now.
