This building used to be located in New Orleans, and was photographed untold numbers of times through the years. I am pleased that I took the time to snap this capture before the building was destroyed.

Exploring foreign worlds
Documentary photography is all about entering new and foreign worlds. I spent several years documenting the people of New Orleans. There is quite a bit that I could say about this photograph… I could tell you about the death mask…
Sitting on the sidelines
I’m sitting on the sidelines watching the world go round. I’m sitting on the sidelines watching the monuments getting tore down. I’m sitting on the sidelines watching the cities burn, just sitting on the sidelines watching the world turn. Good…
Digital graveyards
New Mexico outlaw. Outlaw Paul. I’m very pleased that I made a print of this capture. So many photographs today never materialize in the real world. They are left to decompose in digital graveyards…

A new suit
Without a doubt, one of my favorite places to photograph is New Orleans. On this day, members of the hobo army received new suits from a nearby Church.
