Beignet Bound...

We arrived today in the Big Easy after a two-day road trip, and are staying at my brother in-law's home while he enjoys an academic sabbatical in Europe. We have planned to soak up the flavor of New Orleans (or what is left...post-Katrina) for a week or so before heading back home to DC.
(2130 hrs, local time) As I type, there is a live New Orleans Jazz band...singing accompanied by those unmistakable trumpets and banjos...nearby, somewhere down the street in this "Uptown" neighborhood. Tomorrow morning...the French Quarter.

Here are some impressions from our interstate journey today. (Click on the moving images to view the slide show at your own speed.)

This blog is...

...a space for focusing and commenting on images, for ranting in the lexicon of pictures, for exploring the dissonance and/or consonance between words and digital hieroglyphs...an aperture into the marginalia of the everyday or the unusual.

Feel free to cast your own impression and post a comment, or remain underexposed, and lurk in the darkroom.
