Again, 2020?
October 26, 2020
Hurricane Zeta. We’re under another hurricane watch. At this point, nothing will surprise me. It’s exhausting.
Little Wins
October 20, 2020
Celebrating the “little victories” in life is something I hear others talk about but have never really done myself. Acknowledging even the tiniest of accomplishments can raise your serotonin levels (and as we well know, I need that in my life). So, I’m going to recognize some of my small wins in what is a … More Little Wins
Weathering the Storms
October 10, 2020
So, as it seems, 2020 is not finished being bizarre. Here in South Louisiana, we have just come through a strange, strong October hurricane. Another chapter in this weird tale of the year that has changed the landscape of our lives. Hurricane Delta fell to the west of us, battering the already battered areas around … More Weathering the Storms
Fun (Free) Halloween Printables
September 21, 2020
It’s always fun to decorate for the holidays, and Halloween kitsch is some of our favorite stuff to put out and about. I had a bit of font and Photoshop fun and created some open source freebies for you. You can check them out below and/or download from my Dropbox here: Halloween Freebies!

Clearing My Mind (and Office)
September 20, 2020
Being “off work” so much has allowed me to focus on creative endeavors outside of portrait work. I’ve taught some courses and am even preparing to launch some tutorials on my YouTube page. Since portraits are straggling here, I’m diversifying. 😉 And of course it’s given me a ton of time to realize that my … More Clearing My Mind (and Office)
Draffsack (n.)
September 9, 2020
Weird Word Wednesday? Haven’t done this in a while. But I came across this word and thought, “how perfect for this year.” Draffsack (noun) – A bag of garbage, used figuratively to mean ‘a big paunch, or belly, a glutton.’ A couple of examples I have come up with: “This year has been a huge … More Draffsack (n.)
And now we wait.
August 24, 2020
Currently, it’s pleasant outside. There’s a light breeze and some cloud cover, but nothing that looks ominous. Nothing that would indicate that two storms are bearing down on the Gulf of Mexico. Marco should make landfall late tonight and Laura at the next day. We will probably get a lot of rain, which is scary … More And now we wait.
I’m a terrible blogger
August 17, 2020
There are a few frustrations in my life that gnaw at me. One is the fact that I cannot keep up with blogging consistently. I can write and teach courses on photography. I can create 40 pieces of self-portraiture in 40 days. I can organize exhibits, virtual and in-person. I can even create and compile … More I’m a terrible blogger
Hello, again. It’s me.
July 28, 2020
Has it been nearly two months since I have written for you here? It has. And I apologize. Actually, I don’t. It’s been busy and weird. Probably for you too. So, I think it’s time I reintroduce myself. I’ll do so in the format of “random questions” (though the questions aren’t really random, but carefully … More Hello, again. It’s me.
How Experience Shapes our View
June 1, 2020
For your reference, before you begin reading: What are Schemas? I have been thinking about writing a post about “schema” and how all the experiences and knowledge we have build into ways we continue to interpret information – visually, in reading, and in future experiences. When I stood in front of a classroom of 30 … More How Experience Shapes our View
