CRACK CRUISE CHRISTMAS

We spent the last week on a cruise to the Carribean, where I got to make more photographs for the ongoing series, "CRUISE". It was a treat trip, a forget the Fall nightmare Katrina trip, a pampered cruise South to warm weather, tropical drinks and more food than anyone needed. It was a Crack Cruise for Christmas. Cheers!

Ho, Ho, Ho...OH NO!!!!!!

This was Michael Mead's bathroom in New Orleans. If you don't know his work, take a look at
it, because this house is now gone and he fled the city leaving most of his studio and work back near the 17th Street Canal where it all drown. Ho, Ho, Ho....OH no

CRUISE TO NOWHERE...

I have been working on a series of cruise ship images, in fact, the series was to be exhibited last month in New Orleans, but the show was cancelled. Once again, my ship didn't leave port. Well last Mardi Gras we decided to take a cruise out of New Orleans, make some pictures and get the chill out of our bones. The day the ship was to leave port, two boats collided and sunk in the mouth of the Mississippi, stopping port traffic for days. When we finally departed New Orleans, the ship headed out into a rough Gulf of Mexico and made circles. It rained most of the time, except the sun showed itself once! It never warmed up but the sight was something to see. I lamented being "stuck" in New Orleans! I can't imagine that thought now.

A DECEMBER TO REMEMBER....

The first cold front has blown in and our two season world has gone from Summer to Winter. Hurricane season is finally over, beleive it or not! Unlike years past, I will be aware of when that season, Summer and hurricanes come around again.
