night windows

I guess I ought to have wished for a room with a more traditionally scenic view – maybe the river or downtown or whatever. But on the other hand: while this isn’t “scenic” in the traditional sense, I was very fond of the three lighted windows in an otherwise dark building across the street.

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.

our darling

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.
