Moments from the West Coast

I am editing pictures from Liza and Willie's wedding that I shot about two weeks ago and these are a few pictures that I liked because I felt like they all conveyed a strong emotion without being too sensational in their composition or technical quality they were simply documents of a place in time and the people who so beautifully occupied it. 

And one day, I want to look at comfortable as those two people at the picnic table. 

Reading Neruda in Bowling Green

I stopped in Bowling Green when I went to Nashville to pick up the film from Liza and Willie's wedding. I stayed in Bowling Green for the night and wound up reading "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair" by Pablo Neruda with two other friends in a dark house. If any of you have not read this book I would say that you should. 

Swing Low Sweet Chariot

New Orleans

I am pretty ready to be back in New Orleans. I've been moving around constantly in one form or another since April and I am looking forward to settling down again. Here is a picture I took before I left New Orleans in the Spring. I was learning to use a loaned view camera with a medium format back and it is of two of my favorite people in the city.  

Night Riding

I am back in Kentucky for the moment. My father has taken to going on long bicycle rides every night. So tonight I went with him to see what it was all about. It was fun seeing the town at night. There is a certain quality that dark, empty streets have when you are moving about them in near silence that is really incredible.
