NOLA Photo Series #5

French Quarter – photo provided by author 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, blackContinueContinue reading “NOLA Photo Series #5”

NOLA Photo Series #4

Husband – photo provided by author 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: OtherContinueContinue reading “NOLA Photo Series #4”

Touristy Things

Until quite recently, I hated tours. With a passion. How can that be, you ask? There is so much to learn, and the knowledge of the guides is right there at your disposal. Why not let them open up that world for you, show you what you didn’t even know to explore? Oh, let meContinueContinue reading “Touristy Things”

Positano, Italy Photo Series #3

Positano stairs – photo provided by author More black and white, more shadow and light. And inevitably, more stairs (this place is NOT sedentary-person-friendly). Shot on iPhone 8. Related: More photos here and here.

Blessings from Bast – Positano, Italy

Cat on a Positano Roof – photos provided by author She knows a good gig when she sees one — this furry ball of gorgeous has actually shown up more than once in my reading of other people’s blogs about journeys to Positano. An absolute camera-mugging, attention-crazed, ultra-self-confident specimen, milking her chance to steal theContinueContinue reading “Blessings from Bast – Positano, Italy”

Seafaring

Watching the shoreline Grow smaller and smaller Then the bottom bumps Against a boulder Under the dark water Which you choose to ignore Or hate Or anticipate Or wish away with the wave of a hand And I wonder if it has torn a hole And I wonder if I am sinking Then the wayContinueContinue reading “Seafaring”

Positano, Italy Photo Series #2

View from Positano heights – photo provided by author Another shot from our lovely day in Positano. Not only were there several different levels at which you could shoot the sea and sky (so. many. stairs.) but foreground was pretty much everywhere, which is my candy when I’m aiming to capture a unique perspective onContinueContinue reading “Positano, Italy Photo Series #2”

Rashomon Series: Positano, Italy

Back to my “something a little different”, inspired by one of my favorite stories, Rashomon. (Does doing it twice officially make it a habit? Okay, okay, not quite there yet.) The idea is to occasionally solicit the thoughts and opinions of others who have tread the same path as me, but (inevitably) they bring aContinueContinue reading “Rashomon Series: Positano, Italy”

Positano, Italy Photo Series #1

Variations on “ceilings” – photos provided by author My obsession with lines, light and shadow continued on my Women’s Walkabout trip to Positano, Italy. In the early stages of my foray into hobbyist photography, I got the brilliant advice of finding your shot by merely looking up. This place did not disappoint. Shot on iPhoneContinueContinue reading “Positano, Italy Photo Series #1”

My Favorite Mask-Takes

I’ve done a couple of safe-cations in our current pandemic climate, and hope to do a few more over the next year or so (yes, I’m prepared to safe-cation for as long as it takes). So inevitably, I am going to be out there, wearing my mask and encountering other people wearing their masks. AndContinueContinue reading “My Favorite Mask-Takes”
