The long and short of it is I like side-of-the-road and through-the-windshield photos.

People rather than paintings.

I like palm trees okay, and cactus okay, but put them together and it's like nirvana.

Subgalleries currently are Sedona and Deadhorse.

My husband was born in New Orleans and spent a few years growing up in Gulfport, Mississippi. His mother's family was one that had been for generations settled in the gulf area of Mississippi and Louisiana and thus he had a number of relatives who were affected by Katrina, some profoundly. These photos were taken of the Biloxi/Gulfport area late in November 2006, over a year after Katrina. The neighborhood in which my husband grew up was no longer there.
