Ongoing project.....making some headway


Last Sundays Mothers Day second line was a feast for the senses. I continued to shoot focusing primarily on the children's experience, interacting with parents and friends. Next Wednesday I will be presenting some of my work from this ongoing project to get some help on editing the collection.

Looking at the images from all the 2lines Ive shot, I realized that there are a few distinct categories the photos fall into. At last nights 6 shooters event at the CAC (which was a success, I think) Richard Sexton got me thinking about the objectivity vs. subjectivity of this specific 2 line project Ive been working on.

Im not posting all the great shots from last Sunday but have begun gathering and organizing all my 2lines shots so I can finally find a good way to present them as a collection.

Drunk people are easy targets

Seems as though we can add Cinco De Mayo to the long list of holidays celebrated here in New Orleans. Spent last wednesday with a few photo class collegues over at Superior grill. Drunken subjects just make it too easy.

Check out the photos here.

Jazz Fest 2010: the picks are in

Spent last weekend shooting JazzFest for the Jazz & Heritage Archive. As usual I found it very difficult to stay glued to the particular stages I was supposed to be covering and wandered around quite a bit. See this years JF SHOTS HERE on my website

Thank goodness I shot first weekend when the sun was actually shining. Not surprisingly I got a lot more excited about my shots taken of fest goers vs. shots of musicians on stage. I met a lot of cool people in the photo pit and ran into a million people from around town. Our house was packed with visitors including my parents who had an amazing time and will probably never stop talking about it until next years JF, when we do it all over again.

Its cool to compare last years shots with this years, wow the sun makes a big difference. Check out last years pictures on Daily News site here and even more from last year on my website.

I should have a gallery posted of this years shots on NY Daily News website soon, as well as several photos included in the next edition of Offbeat Magazine........Keep posted...comments encouraged.
