portrait of beard with jarrett

Jarrett is my brother.  He's been my brother his whole life, and during his whole life I've been taking pictures of him.  Which means if there are any biographers out there that's working on a book about his life and need photos for those picture inserts in the middle of the book...I'm your man. This particular shot was taken this past Christmas Eve. Debonair as always, with just a hint of humor behind his eyes, I wondered, "Where did he get that beard?"

st. louis, french quarter, new orleans

I took this picture with my lomo fish eye camera.  Then I went into a nearby hat shop where I bought nothing, but tried on a few hats that I did not look very good in.

simple. country.

I heart old worn out little country cafe signs with little old worn out hearts on 'em.  I promised my mom I'd get this sign for her house later on that night after the sun went down, but we decided on beaver huntin' instead.  The cops woulda' nailed us anyway, they're crawling all over Greensburg; all three square quarters of a mile of that town!

back porch wildlife

This was taken practically on the back porch steps of my in-laws place.  I like this picture because of the crane, if the crane wasn't in this picture, it'd be a pretty boring picture.

This is my brother.  This picture is artsy, grand, and sweeping because he is artsy, grand, and sweeping.  He makes movies and blogs for the Austin School of Film.

new year :: new orleans

Besides the good food and the family I find when I visit south Louisiana for the holidays I can always rest assured that there will be photographs to be taken, ones I can't necessarily take in too many other parts of the world.  New Orleans is one of these places where a photograph exists ten times over within a diameter of fifteen feet no matter where you are standing.  I ditched the digital cameras over the holidays and tried to capture as much as I could on film.  Good ol', tried and true, magical film.  The real reason I picked up a camera, to be a photographer-not a computer technician or a graphic designer.  No, a photographer.  Shooting with an old Canon AE1 I walked the same block twice, and captured these along the way.
