D68: Special Feature—Scott Bourne Photowalk

D68: Special Feature—Scott Bourne Photowalk

I did something different. After reviewing the 545 images from the French Quarter Photowalk with Scott Bourne, I decided to tell a story with the images. Not just a slideshow of pretty pictures, but something that meant something, if only to me. So I ask you to sit back and watch this show…what does it [...]

D65: A Story in a Still

D65: A Story in a Still

Holding back tears as I write. Been holding back the floodgates all day, an apt metaphor since I took a photowalk in the upper and lower 9th ward of New Orleans.

D45: 13,000 in 3 Weeks for 143 Million

Make sense to you? Probably not. I didn’t have a clue until last week either. Here are the statistics… There are 143 million orphans around the world. That’s 143 million children without parents and families to call their own. That’s a crisis and a tragedy. One village in Kenya created 13,000 “X” keychains out of [...]
