A Face of The French Quarter
When you are visiting the French Quarter in New Orleans, you never know what photo taking opportunities you will discover. They are all around you. The photo of the week was taken in the first week of January while visiting the French Quarter. We were listening to some street musicians when I spotted this individual……probably a street person…. sitting in a doorway observing the activity around him. The people were watching the musicians and this man was trying to get some attention too. It was a cool afternoon, even for New Orleans, as you can tell the way the individual...
Read MoreThe Gates of Home
Welcome to 2011. The Photo of the Week shows a different type of photo which reminds me that all of us, regardless of our situation, have something to be thankful for at the beginning of the new year.This photograph I call the “Gates of Home.” The house behind these gates is the home where my mother was born in 1901 at Jablonna, Czechoslovakia. Her father, who was a farmer and a “poacher” because only the nobility could legally hunt in those years, became disillusioned with the government and came to this country in 1904. (There is another story involved with this,...

The photo of The week brings back memories of our days in Northern Illinois. This photo was taken in our backyard 7-8 years ago after a heavy wet snowfall. Nice to look at but not nice if it is cold and windy out. I am showing this in both black and white and color…take your pick of which one you like best. Share this:...
Read MoreTwo Winners
This week’s photos of the week you may have seen before on my website.. The first one was taken in Times Square in 1959 and the second was taken two years ago along the beach at Destin Fl. Both received Merit Awards in the 2011 February Black & White Magazines Single Image Contest Awards. The interesting thing about the Times Square photograph is that it is one of 5 (originally I thought I had only taken 2) that I took that evening way back when. I Have used a different photograph of that scene without a bus up until a couple years ago when I discovered this other photograph trying to...
Read MorePensacola Air Show
The Photo(s) of The Week concentrate on the recent Pensacola Blue Angels Air Show. While their stuff is neat I concentrated on other things as well..as you can see. The first photo is of three old Russian planes flying above the crowd. The second is a photograph of part of the crowd in the bleachers ahead of where I was sitting in the free area. The third is of the Blue Angels. They are fast moving fantastic aerobatic team…probably the best in the word. Their fast moving flying is difficult to follow with a camera. It was a fun event to attend. Share this:...
Read MoreNatchez Double Bridge
The Photo of the Week this week is a view from the ground up of the double bridge that crosses the Mississippi River from Mississippi to Louisiana. It is a double bridge with traffic on both bridges, rather than one being a car bridge and the other a railroad bridge. This photograph in black & white is rather striking from the low angle while a color verison is on so-and-so. The street light in the middle gives an added emphasis to the low angle. Photograph taken in September, 2010, on a very cloudy morning. Share this:...
