Read MoreSuper Bowl XLVII
This past weekend New Orleans was electrified. With the Super Bowl in town the city was full of Ravens Fans, 49er Fans, football fans, locals (EVERYONE was downtown). There were people everywhere. One of the coolest places I saw was the Jax Brewery parking lot where ESPN had rented the entire parking lot for two weeks (for $1M according to one of the ESPN security people) and setup stages all over. Above:...

Read MoreBarber Vintage Fest
This past weekend I went to Birmingham for the 8th Annual Barber Vintage Fest at Barber Motorsports Park. It was the second time I had been to the park. I went back in April for the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama. It was as beautiful as ever and we enjoyed some truly wonderful weather. I went up early for the MotoGiro South event. I drove the chase truck behind all of the vintage motorcycle riders. It was a...

Read MoreSaints vs Redskins
The New Orleans Saints have not had a great start. In fact they have had a terrible start at 0-4! At least I got to attend the Saints vs Redskins game and take some shots of the game. Being that our seats are about the 7th row, its almost like being on the field. Not really.. but it's close enough to get a few good shots. So I "snuck" my 70-200mm into the game (It's a 1/2" longer...

Read MoreMy first Photoshop World
I spent the last week in Las Vegas to attend NAPP's Photoshop World (also celebrated my anniversary while there). The conference didn't start till Wednesday but on Tuesday I went on a pre-conference photowalk with Erik Valind. Erik is a super nice guy and also a great photographer so it was really an honor to have him lead the photowalk. Here are a few shots from our walk: Above: Aria Hotel...

Read MoreFishing Down South..
A couple months ago I took a quick two-day fishing trip around Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana with some family. I had just bought my waterproof camera – in fact it actually came in the mail right before I left to go to Slidell to meet up with my family. So it was great to get to use it right away. That being said, I purchased Nikon's waterproof AW100. All the pictures below were taken with it....

Read MoreJames John Audubon Bridge Visit
A few weeks ago I got to visit the Huey P Long Bridge's sister project, the completely new John James Audubon Bridge in New Roads, LA. The bridge really is pristine and incredibly beautiful! When I first saw it as I came around the turn of the bridge, I couldn't stop myself from emitting some "wowsers…oooos….ahhs". It is a cable stayed bridge with its two main towers reaching...

Read MoreClimbing up the New Huey P!!
Climbing up top the New Huey P. Long Bridge in New Orleans A few weeks back I climbed to the very, very top of the Huey P Long Bridge. When I finally made it to the top my arms and hands were numb. A Hundred feet of ladder doesn't seem like too hard to climb when you're looking at it; but when it's straight up with a harness, your camera bouncing off the side of the cage, and having to...

Read MoreHuey P Bridge – Last on the Lanes
Yesterday I posted about the Huey P Long Bridge traffic switch. There was a contest to be the "First Over" the newly constructed lanes (see that post from yesterday) and also to be the "Last Over" the soon to be demolished 77 year old lanes. Thanks to an antique car club in New Orleans, the contest winner got to ride over old lanes in a 1931 Model A. Above: Contest winner,...
