One of many unique decor choices in NOLA. Keep in mind, this was taken in April. But then again, it’s New Orleans, where every day may as well be the day of the dead, so drink and be merry, for you know the rest. Shot on iPhone 8.

Tsumaranai Mono (aka Trivial Things)
You can tell a lot about a person by convincing them to let you into their home and look around for awhile. Oof, did that sound weird-creepy? That was weird-creepy. Let me start over. I’m not a particularly material girl (I don’t hold onto a lot of stuff, Marie Kondo would be very bored here)Continue reading “Tsumaranai Mono (aka Trivial Things)”
Positano, Italy Photo Series #4
Photography enthusiast readers — I don’t know why I like this so much, but it gives me that tickle under my skin every time I look at it, so I figured I’d put this one out into the blogo-verse. My hope is that someday I’ll understand technique enough that I’ll look back on the photosContinue reading “Positano, Italy Photo Series #4”
Practicing Photography: A Cat’s Worst Nightmare
To my familiars, Farkle and Zoe: I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. The thing is, you get a new camera, or even just a new camera phone, and there’s a strong, powerful, compelling, irresistible urge to use it. But you’re in your house, on your couch, and there’s only so many shots of the upright pianoContinue reading “Practicing Photography: A Cat’s Worst Nightmare”
Day Trippin’: Algonac and Saint Clair, MI
“Comfort zone is a delusion.” ― Fahim Khan When I like something, I like to really like it. I go deep, all-in, especially if it’s something that I’ve been introduced to by someone I treasure. I like to think I surround myself with people of tantalizing taste — they don’t shift with the breezes of theContinue reading “Day Trippin’: Algonac and Saint Clair, MI”
Killing Time – NOLA
Ah punctuality, you wily nymph, you. So close, yet so very far away. Wait, let me back up. Not quite ready for this part of the story yet, we need a little preamblizing. (Not a word, you say? I bet it is in Joss Whedon’s Firefly universe. Ergo, it should be in ours. I willContinue reading “Killing Time – NOLA”
NOLA Photo Series #6
Many people of NOLA made my 2018 trip fantastically memorable, but nobody more than Aslan. Read more about this thoughtful, artistic soul here. I hope our paths cross again someday. Related: Other NOLA photos can be found here, here, here, here, and here.
Rashomon Series: The Notebook – NOLA
It’s that time again – time for “something a little different”! Inspired by one of my favorite stories, Rashomon, I solicit the thoughts and opinions of others who have tread the same path as me, but (inevitably) they bring a different perspective. End result: you get twice the story. (I’ve successfully wrangled a “second voice”Continue reading “Rashomon Series: The Notebook – NOLA”
NOLA Photo Series #5
Another notch in the NOLA photo series. I can’t recall ever having a better time just wandering around day after day, no destination in sight, just my camera phone in one hand and a delicious icy cold Hurricane in the other. (Don’t judge.) Shot on iPhone 8, black and white filter. Related: Other NOLA photosContinue reading “NOLA Photo Series #5”
NOLA Photo Series #4
Bringing back some NOLA vibes, in advance of sharing a story or two about this fantastic journey through one of the best cemetery towns in the states. This is a companion piece to a previous photo I’ve shared, “Wife“. Shot on iPhone 8, black and white filter. Related: Other NOLA photos can be found hereContinue reading “NOLA Photo Series #4”
