A couple of weeks ago, I spent an afternoon downtown with Olaf Sztaba, a friend and local professional photographer. Olaf is a master at creating beautiful images. His photographs often use bold light and shadow that often cause the viewer to question what they are...
Sometimes I find that I become a tad complacent with my photography. Why? Complacency is comfortable. It is like curling up in an old leather recliner with a blanket that your aunt crocheted for you a dozen Christmases ago! It feels warm and safe! The problem with...

Some photos I took during a three day visit to New Orleans with my sister mid-November. This was my first, of hopefully many trips to this wonderful city. I am looking forward to exploring some more at Christmas with Paul and my daughters. Hope you enjoy!
