art + travel + photography
Café du Monde in the French quarter of New Orleans, open 24/7… I went at night, for some beignets and café au lait… And took a beignet for the road! You guys, just by looking at these pictures… I’m already starting to crave another beignet!
In 1990, New Orleans and me… we looked like this: This weekend, I’m Louisiana bound again. So we’ll see how much things have changed! To set the mood, some New Orleans tunes: jazz, r&b, funk… you know the drill. I pulled together a few fave songs for the road. You can listen, […]
I like to make pictures with film. But… I always take a while getting the film developed. And when I do bring it in? It’s full of surprise, long-forgotten photos. So now it’s December, and I love the cold. But these fresh prints have me thinking about the warmth of the beach… …with water at […]
The actual moon: The moon pie: They’re both round. Only one is edible. Moon pies are a big deal in Bell Buckle, Tennessee — home of the yearly RC Cola & Moon Pie Festival. This very, very, very small town is also home to the Bell Buckle Cafe: Bell Buckle Cafe has an eclectic menu, […]

There’s lots of fun times and memories at Emory wrapping up, but also lots of exciting things to look forward to after graduation. I’m not sure yet what the post-graduation […]
I got to spend 11 days in Rome, and enjoyed exploring around the vast city that has been home to so much civilization and culture. Rome has everything from quiet gardens around the Villa Borghese… …and ancient ruins from the Roman Empire… …to modern iconic Italian vespas, political flags, accordions, music…. There are so many […]
I got to spend one Saturday in Florence, Italy – a city steeped in the history of art, music, politics, and Italian culture. In the pedestrian streets around Florence’s famous art galleries, every square foot is filled with musicians and souvenir reproductions of famous paintings for sale…. Walking through the city, there are pops of […]
