I’m back from a wonderful photo trip to New Orleans. I headed down just after Mardi Gras for a few days. I spent my time listening to music, exploring neighborhoods, cemeteries, and parks, seeing art and eating amazing food! I thought I’d share a few of my photos from my trip and an exciting announcement) with you today

And my big announcement is that I will be leading a photography workshop in New Orleans in February 2018. Tentative dates are just after Mardi Gras – so February 18-24. We’ll be based out of a historic hotel in the French Quarter. We’ll spend time exploring and photography the wonders of New Orleans. The workshop will be limited to 6 participants. If this workshop sounds like an adventure you’d like to join me for, drop me a note and I’ll make sure you’re among the first to hear when registration opens later this year.
