The Big Easy II
“The city is one very long poem. Gardens full of pansies, pink petunias, opiates. Flower-bedecked shrines, white myrtles, bougainvillea and purple oleander stimulate your senses, make you feel cool and clear inside. Everything in New Orleans is a good idea.” - Bob Dylan

The Big Easy I
The morning after Michelle and Colby’s Wedding Magic…we left our Apartment on Frenchman Street…
For beignets at the world famous Cafe Du Monde…
Which Ohle decorated his face with…
Then somehow he managed to hold still for almost an hour while having his portrait sketched…
While his girlfriend Collette watched…
then we ended up back at the pool in time for some street Jazz off our balcony!
Easy.

Gentlewoman
Last Year, before the birth of our second son my dear friends (Kenny and Chris) found this book in Big Sur for me…taken by a South African photographer in the 70’s…Sigurd Olivier
I love the moments he captured between mother and child. My favorite style of “family” photography…rarely do I ever get to publish this style of image out of courtesy to my subjects…So, I thought I’d share another photographers’ example for once!
Enjoy…and Happy Mothers’ Day!
