tchoupitoulas street jogger
Well, first of all, it’s a whole lot of fun to say “Tchoupitoulas.” Try it.*
And second of all, if you need a delicious sandwich for lunch, you can stop by the St. James Cheese Company, right there at Tchoupitoulas and Girod.
And, finally, when you’re done with your sandwich you can sit and watch what ever is happening along the sidewalk. And maybe get a few photos while you’re at it.

that was not a new leak
Based on the amount of slick green moss and rotting leaves in the large puddle next to the leaky fire hydrant, I am going to make a wild guess that maybe the leak’s not something that just started earlier that same morning.
A Report from the Research Department*: Google street view from December of 2021 does not show a leak.

the happy afternoon
I was in Tulsa the other week, and it was quite an eventful time. For one thing, my collaborative project with photographer VC Torneden opened at the TAC Gallery. Our project is a multi-year look at the forgotten places along Route 66. In case you didn’t make it to Tulsa, you can see those images here.
And some friends of mine came up to the show – some from Texas and one from New Mexico.
And – as if driving like a million hours to get from Santa Fe wasn’t already more than enough, that friend (a great photographer, R. David Marks) gave me a vintage lens.
And then! There’s more!! I used that vintage lens and made some photos on a warm and sunny afternoon. This couple were having a happy day – there was much laughter coming from their part of the park
