I decided to go to the Push Pin Show, basically because I will use any excuse to spend time in New Orleans. There are things I love about the country, but it's also nice to recharge my batteries in a...

It's no secret that I go antiquing a LOT. I always loved antique stores, but they weren't as plentiful in California as they are in the south. There are entire small towns here whose entire downtowns...

It's been noted that I'm in New Orleans so much that I might as well live there, but I like the country, too. I love visiting cities, I don't necessarily want to be in them 24-7.Anyway. Saturday was...

Super Sunday: Kodak Ektar in the LC-A+

I broke my usual no-cropping-film rule, because I couldn't always get in close to the Indians. Whenever I couldn't totally get rid of the crowds, I tried to incorporate them as a framing device; this...
