I've said it before, sunrise and sunset photography is always a gamble. A sky full of clouds can go clear right at sunset - it's crazy! I was watching the sky, off and on, most of the day. I finally decided to go ahead and go out to see what I could get. I left [...]
You CAN do it too!
"Two men took a boat to the lighthouse in 2008 and climbed to the top of the lighthouse. As they started to descend, the ladder broke, stranding them in the tower. Fortunately, one of the men had a cell phone and called for help. Firefighters soon arrived, and, after having to swim across the inlet [...]
Hope
When my siblings and I were in high school, there was a nursery (a plant store) up on the highway. It was only a couple of blocks from my parent's home, but I never visited the store. I was young after all and had little need for plants. Still, it was a fixture and a [...]
Yes, It’s Worth it.
A couple of days ago I took the hour long trip across the lake hoping for a decent sunset. It's always a gamble as I've mentioned before, but you have to be there 'just in case'. There were a lot of scattered clouds in the late afternoon, so I felt pretty good about it. Still, [...]
What a Difference!
After having heavy rain, hail and gale force winds at our last attempt at working an art fair, we had a MUCH better time this morning at the "Mandeville Trailhead Market." The weather couldn't have been better, we had a nice shady spot under the pavilion (so we didn't need our canopy) and we had [...]
Tall Ships
As part of the year long celebration for New Orleans 300th anniversary, A 'Navy week' was scheduled. Part of this Navy week would be several historical 'tall ships'. A few of them would be tied off on the bank of the river, while two more would be docked in a canal just off the Lake. [...]
Time to Stretch a Bit
If you know me.... well, most of you don't - but if you did, you'd know that I'm always 'up' to something. Nothing bad usually, just always pushing to do more... to try new things. Well, this time I tried my hand at creating a book. My daughter Ashley is the real author in the [...]
First One in the Books
Our first ever Art Fair is in the books..... Well, sort of. We were approved by the committee and paid our vendor fee over three weeks ago. At that time, of course, there was no expectation that the day of the April Art Walk would be, maybe, the worst weather day that we'd have in [...]
Inspiration – it’s All Around You
As a landscape photographer, primarily, you’re always looking for the best scene. More importantly, you’re looking for the best light to capture that scene. One quickly learns that the best light can be found at sunrise and sunset. These times aren't called ‘golden’ for no reason. We’d all like the drama of a setting sun [...]
Gretna Art Walk
Having been a photographer for several years, I’ve made the decision to try something new. It all started when I got the idea to affix some square versions of my images to some ceramic tiles and display them on an easel. Truth be told, the idea came from my mother when she did something similar. [...]
