Details in the French Quarter of New Orleans

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 22, 2020 | Louisiana

Sometimes when I’m walking around a city like New Orleans – I just wander with my camera in hand, photographing whatever catches my eye. When I get back and look at my photos for the day, sometimes I’ll see that a theme as emerged in my photos of the day. All of these photos came from a walk in the French Quarter where I seemed to be focusing on architectural details.

While I’m here at home during the pandemic, I’m taking the opportunity to sort through and edit some of the many unweeded photos on my hard drive. The photos I’m currently working on were taken in New Orleans in 2017 These are some of the photos I took walking around the garden district.

Detail of the famous corn fence (and not the story about a women missing the corn fields isn’t true – the fence was available through a catalog)

The 2019 Cats of Catskill, New York – Part 7

by hankinslawrenceimages | Aug 9, 2019 | New York

For the past 13 years, the Heart of Catskill Association in Catskill, New York has organized a public art project Cat’N Around Catskill for cat lovers everywhere! Each year, artists decorate cat sculptures and they are placed on Main Street and a few other locations in town. I first saw the Cats in 2017 when I was photographing in the area. Last month, I spent some time in the Hudson River Valley, so of course I had to check out this year’s cats.

This year, there are 52 cats on display. I had a wonderful time photographing the 48 that I found. I’ll be sharing photos of some of them all this week in a series of blog posts.

And so here they are – the 2019 Cats of Catskill
