no one every really leaves

The road wasn’t paved all the way to this remote, windswept place.  That was, of course, part of the charm. And part of the adventure of the day.

shadows reveal what was there all along

From my angle, those horseshoes blended in with the bare cemetery dirt, leaving the late-afternoon sun to reveal to me what was in fact there all along.

People think they know what the French Quarter looks like – and, mostly they are right. It does indeed have a lot of wrought-iron balconies and bars and street performers and booze.

But, because it is a neighborhood where actual, real people live, it’s also got things like dry cleaners. And wire coat hangers.

Come ON, letters! You – the L! And you – the O! GET IT TOGETHER AND GET YOURSELVES LINED UP WITH EVERYONE ELSE.

If you’ve been around my work for more than say 10 to 13 minutes, you know that I photograph a lot of abandoned places. Rarely do I get bad vibes at a location…but this place (the place in the trees, I mean – not the mailboxes) felt very creepy to me. It was almost to the level that I call Murder House. And that’s why there’s just the one photo – sticking around wasn’t a thing I thought I needed to do. You know, in case it WAS a Murder House.
