NOLA, in the spring
I went to grad school in New Orleans. Trust me on this: the summers are very hot, very humid. Like so humid you can’t even breathe. Like so hot you can’t even move.
As a career-having person, it turns out that I have a lot of conferences in New Orleans, and most of them are in the spring. (See previous paragraph for an explanation.)
Somehow, though, spring in New Orleans seduces me almost every time I’m there. The colors are lovely. The food is delightful. The air feels soft. And Every. Single. Time. I think, “It wouldn’t be so bad to live here.”
Except, you know, not.

Goodness. Someone’s child, their darling, is buried here. I can’t imagine anything sadder.

capitol reflection
If there’s a subject that’s lately captured my attention, it would be reflections of things. I like the way the make the distinct indistinct, the way the camera sees things that my eyes and brain edit out, the way reality becomes indistinct.
And so, here I present the Colorado state capitol dome reflected in a big window at the Denver Art Museum.

The photography god(s) smiled on me that day: that woman walked into the frame at the very moment I made the photo, making it about a thousand times better than it would have been without her.

est. 1922
You probably already know this tip for eating in diners: always try for counter seating. That’ll give you a better behind-the-scenes view of the place, and give you the chance to photograph the time-saving technique of putting tableware and napkins in the glasses. You may have a little bit more time to chat with the servers.
And you’ll get to skip the line (which was out the door the day we were there).
