Notes: Oak Alley Plantation near Baton Rouge, Baby ‘Bel and her baby Holga. 😀 Lovely place, but full of gnats and mosquitoes. Man, it was sweltering that day…
Continue readingNew Orleans: 4 Years after Katrina
Notes: Sunrise over the Lower Ninth Ward. Been down to New Orleans many times, and this trip just happened to coincide with the 4th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. In that same time period, with the now quickened pace of life, people can graduate, change their last name and have kids. Sadly, for this area of […]
Continue readingNew Orleans: IR and Black and White
Technical Notes: Got a hang somewhat of processing the SD14 RAW files for false color infrared photos. All these random images are just from my photo walks or bike rides through New Orleans with the Sigma sans IR filter, which is turning out to be a heck of a little “ghost cam.” Again, the quirks […]

Notes: It will probably be a long time before New Orleans gets back to its heyday of tourists shoulder to shoulder on Bourbon Street, but I enjoy going down there because it’s different from my norm. “…Changes in latitude, changes in attitude…” The city still holds that unique charm: antique mansions versus urban decay–creepy unsettling violence amidst […]

Notes: Pencil, Pen and Ink, and then these images were taken using an old Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AI-S mounted on a Canon EOS 10D via a Fotodiox adapter (of which more pix to come…)

Notes: Weather has been unusually pleasant this week, and that made me forget how much colder the mountain top can be. Rushed the entire day, and barely made it to my spots. Lucky for us, there was a nice couple with a truck full of friendly doggies and puppies, one of which made for a […]

Misc Notes: Raven Cliffs Falls, North of Helen, GA. 2.5 Mile hike from parking lot, following the stream and multiple stopping points for small waterfalls. Trail is moderate to easy, however the “path” to the top of the falls is precarious and steep. The waterfall has two pools, with some really cool water. The bottom […]

I’m so out of shape figure drawing wise, but here are some quick drawings from this past weekend. Been placing the figures all on one sheet to save paper and money :(. Like most sessions they usually start out with quick 2 minute warm up drawings and end up with 20 minute poses. Wish I had more time […]

Been cleaning up, i.e. throwing away junk, and I came to all my old videogames. For old times sake I hooked up an NES to the projector and played a couple of games. Of course it acted up in the beginning and took the breath on the cartridge trick to get it going. 🙂 […]
