On March 9th, 2020 - 13 members of my family boarded a cruise ship out of New Orleans for a 5 day trip. Today, with all that’s known, that sounds like a crazy (or stupid) idea, At the time, there wasn’t a single case of Coronavirus in the state of Louisiana - not one. When [...]
Strange Times Indeed
For my whole life, maybe because of science fiction movies or because I’m from the generation who got under their desks at school to be ‘protected’ from an atomic bomb, I assumed that the world would end in a bright white flash. That’s if you were lucky. If you weren’t so lucky, you’d spend your [...]
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 shouldn't have been). That doesn't 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 [...]
HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Well, not really, but I do really enjoy New York City. For some reason, I just feel very comfortable there. I know I shouldn't, there's so many people and they're 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 [...]
Up and At It!
One of the most rewarding things about being a landscape photographer is the oppurtunity to get out early and beat the crowd. It's 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 [...]

With the Birds I Share the Loneliest View….
I can’t explain why, but lately I’ve been wanting to trespass into some cool places. When I was young (teens - early 20’s) I would think nothing of a no trespassing sign. My friends and I would just go for it. We were’t criminals or anything. We never stole anything or damaged anything. I’m not [...]
Why A Drone?
As photographers we’re always looking for a different perspective. A different way to see something that’s been seen the ‘usual’ way many times. I’ve actually put my camera down on the street already just to get a completely different angle. I couldn’t even see the viewfinder to frame the shot, so I just took several [...]
How to Develop Your Photographer’s Eye
I’m hardly an expert on this topic. In fact, to be honest, I’m hardly an expert on any topic related to photography. I do, however, have several years of experience in photography and have seen what works… and what doesn’t. The real issue with this topic is that there are just so many photographic disciplines [...]
