before the fog lifted





Early morning drive down River Road. Hazard/perk of my job I guess. Is it ever too early for a drive-by shooting? Not this kind. Random side of the road shot, a blackbird swarm and rare digital light leak(!) and a shot of part of LSU's campus right off of River Road.

1979



I love this photograph of my father and Zeke-Zeke-the-Wonderdog. Trailer, gun on hip, dog...and those shadows.

Loungin' in the garden












35 mm is an old friend I've been getting reacquainted with. Bright chilly weather and a colorful organic garden look good in B&W.

The same lazy Sunday...

Summer's almost gone






...and I don't want it to be...though dropping temps and humidity make living in the South so much easier, this place blossoms--absolutely bursts forth--life and flowers and pollen and insects and water-- in the warmest of the seasons, a name almost assigned to me by my own parents: Summer.

Big landscapes








Four paintings by the late, great Elemore Morgan, Jr.
His paintings of the landscapes of Acadiana are somehow soothing and exciting all at once. He painted on-site--the changing light, its shadows, the wind, and its effects on the prairie-fields are evident in his evocative work. I saw his work in the Contemporary Arts Center of Acadiana in Lafayette a couple of years ago....a huge, beautiful white space that held Morgan's giant sweeping landscapes quite well. (really, some of the panoramas are 20'+ in length!)

All images are from the website of the Arthur Roger gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana.
