Look Ma, No Photoshop!

By in Black & White, French Quarter, How To, Out-takes, Photo Shoot

Being the newly handicapped Joe that I am, I’ve not been prone to aimlessly wondering the streets of New Orleans taking pictures as I often am.  Sad times.  But a week or two ago I did a shoot in Jackson Square.  I was playing around with some of my outtakes and decided to show you [...]

Jenna+David

By in Black & White, Photo Shoot, Wedding

I had the opportunity to second-shoot with Kenny for Jenna & David’s wedding Saturday a week ago.  If you don’t know what ‘second-shooting’ is, it’s when a second photographer acts as back-up and alternate to the first.  Here’s what it means in the practical sense: I get to show up, take a bunch of pictures [...]

Cool Music & John Mayer

By in Music, Video

I Broke My Big Toe.

By in Announcements, News

It’s your big toe.  What’s the big deal?  After all, it’s only big compared to those other little guys, but it’s not really that big.  I’ve been pondering this question as of late, and here are a few things I’ve come to: 1.  When walking, the leg under you that continues moving backward–as you move [...]

Cacophony

By in Family, Poetry

My cousin, Hannah, wrote this poem nearly one year after Hurricane Katrina delivered nine feet of water to her Lakeview home.  It was featured on NPR (National Public Radio) and read aloud to an audience in excess of 500 people. Many things can come out of such a catastrophic set of events; some less anticipated [...]
