WOW! It's been awhile
WOW! Itās beenĀ awhile
Looking back, the last post I did was right after Hurricane Ida. Those were crazy times indeed and a lot has been going on. Not much of whatās been going on is really very interesting or worth writing about. Covid seems to be ended (hopefully) and places are getting back to normalā¦. well almost. Iāve been getting out and shooting a bit more lately. In fact, I started a photo-a-day challenge overā¦

HURRICANE IDA
The last couple of years have been pretty rough. Between Covid, mask mandates, the summer riots, the election, the January 6th riots (whatever that was), vaccines, Covid AGAIN! Masks AGAIN! The 20 year anniversary of 9/11 and the embarrassment of the way our country handled leaving that 20 year war, the last thing anyone needed was a storm that was āProbably the worst storm to hit the Unitedā¦

RED ROCK CANYON
Not far from Las Vegas is an area known as Red Rock Canyon. I originally thought it was part of the state or national park system. Looking at their web page now, that doesnāt seem to be the case. My first experience with Red Rock Canyon was when I pulled up to the little guard shack and was told that every car that passed through the gate had to have a āreservationā that had been purchased aheadā¦

Time to Get Back Out There!
Time to Get Back OutĀ There!
Now that the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be behind us, itās time to get back to life as normal. Of course, for the families who have lost loved ones, it will never feel normal again. I sometimes get angry with the news coverage of this terrible event and how little this fact is mentioned. Having said that, it is time for our nation to try to put this all behind us ā and at the sameā¦

My Own CORVID-19 Story
On March 9th, 2020 ā 13 members of my family boarded a cruise ship out of New Orleans for a 5 day trip. Today, with all thatās known, that sounds like a crazy (or stupid) idea, At the time, there wasnāt a single case of Coronavirus in the state of Louisiana ā not one.
When we were boarding the ship, there was staff there to check you for fever. I didnāt see anyone pulled from line, but Iā¦

Strange Times Indeed
For my whole life, maybe because of science fiction movies or because Iām from the generation who got under their desks at school to be āprotectedā from an atomic bomb, I assumed that the world would end in a bright white flash. Thatās if you were lucky. If you werenāt so lucky, youād spend your final days roaming a post apocalyptic landscape with no food or drinkable water until you dwindledā¦

Brownell Memorial Park
I had the oppurtunity to visit the Bell Tower at Brownell Memorital Park recently.
The park was closed (even though according to the sign, it shouldnāt have been). That doesnāt stop a drone from getting in. Just another advantage of having a UAV.
Brownell Memorial Park is a 9.5 acre park in a natural setting next to lovely Lake Palourde (aĀ FrenchĀ word meaning shellfish). The 106-foot-tallā¦

HOME AWAY FROM HOME
HOME AWAY FROMĀ HOME
Well, not really, but I do really enjoy New York City. For some reason, I just feel very comfortable there. I know I shouldnāt, thereās so many people and theyāre all in a hurry. The city is noisy and busy, but I like it.
It may sound strange, but with so many people there I actually feel kind of alone. I know ā weird.Ā No one pays any attention to you. You really are alone in the crowd.ā¦

Up and At It!
Up and AtĀ It!
One of the most rewarding things about being a landscape photographer is the oppurtunity to get out early and beat the crowd. Itās very quiet in the morning and it gives you time to focus your thoughts and just concentrate on the moment.
Sunrise is the best time of day for this. There just something special about waiting to see the first glow of a new day. Itās something that has a uniqueā¦

Playtime is Over
While the history of Six Flags (originally opened as Jazzland) is well known by people who were living in the area at the time of Hurricane Katrina, it isnāt known to others living outside the area.
Jazzland was opened in New Orleans East, about 14 miles from the French Quarter. It only operated for a couple of years under this ownership when the park was purchased by Six Flags. Six Flagsā¦

With the Birds I Share the LoneliestĀ Viewā¦.
I canāt explain why, but lately Iāve been wanting to trespass into some cool places. When I was young (teens ā early 20ās) I would think nothing of a no trespassing sign. My friends and I would just go for it. We wereāt criminals or anything. We never stole anything or damaged anything. Iām not even sure we trespassed like what Iām talking aboutā¦ I just know that we would have if we wanted to. Ā ā¦

Why A Drone?
As photographers weāre always looking for a different perspective. A different way to see something thatās been seen the āusualā way many times. Iāve actually put my camera down on the street already just to get a completely different angle. I couldnāt even see the viewfinder to frame the shot, so I just took several until I got what I wanted.
At one time, I actually considered trying toā¦

How to Develop Your Photographerās Eye
How to Develop Your PhotographerāsĀ Eye
Iām hardly an expert on this topic. In fact, to be honest, Iām hardly an expert on any topic related to photography. I do, however, have several years of experience in photography and have seen what worksā¦ and what doesnāt.
The real issue with this topic is that there are just so many photographic disciplines that there is no āone size fits allā answer to any challenge. There are some hard andā¦

Thatās right ā Itās All About Perspective.
I set out a few days ago to make photos of the sunset ā hoping it would be one worthy of being photographed!
As luck would have it, it was! However, the resulting image wasnāt perfect and the perspective was the problem, as Iāll explain.
First, let me give you an idea where this image was made so youāll have an understanding. Photographing theā¦

Hike Into History
If you are local to New Orleans, there is something that you probably donāt know. While the city is home to a world class WWII museum, there are other relics from World War II that arenāt as easily experienced.
In a city named; Belle Chasse rests 10 WWII era ammo bunkers!
All that required to see them, even go inside if you dare, is to walkā¦.. kind of a long walk (if you donāt hike on aā¦
