It seems fitting returning to New Orleans after all this time. I’ve posted pictures from there on a few occasions in the past, including for my last post of any significance back in November of 2014. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to have taken several trips to the Big Easy, some of them undocumented … Continue reading
Anyone who hasn’t been to New Orleans yet should definitely check it out sometime. I was lucky enough to have a chance to go back recently. I find it hard to believe that there are some people with zero interest in going. These are just a few shots from my last trip there. All of … Continue reading
About a week after I got back from Europe, I took another quick business trip to New Orleans. We had two stories to put together: one about the booming film industry there, and another about the state of post-Katrina recovery in the Lower 9th Ward. It was a busy few days, but in between I … Continue reading
It’s hard to believe that I flew back to Miami from Europe more than two months ago. It was after a relatively short roadtrip that took us to three different countries – Holland, Belgium and Germany. If I didn’t have to wait three days for my luggage to arrive from Libya, we probably would have gotten to … Continue reading
Here are some of my favorite shots from the past few weeks that haven’t made it into any other posts. All of them were captured on my Fuji X-Pro1, from Alabama to California and the Caribbean. Enjoy. Continue reading
I just recently came back from my first overseas assignment since moving to Miami (not counting Lebanon). Our patch extends across the southern US into the Caribbean, so I expect this first trip to be the first of many. We started off in the Dominican Republic for a few days to begin telling the story … Continue reading
In my last post I shared a slice of my recent trip to Paris… in monochrome. This time is a bit different. It’s known as the City of Light for several reasons. For starters, it’s colorful, especially on a sunny day or at night. Had the weather on my trip been better, I would have … Continue reading
On my way back from Lebanon, I made a brief stop in Paris. I hadn’t been outside of the airport there since 1997. I only stayed for a total of three nights… it was supposed to be four, but I fell victim to something in Lebanon towards the end of my trip there. I hope … Continue reading
I’m a little jealous… my two colleagues (and friends) recently got back from another trip to one of the greatest cities in America. About a month ago I was there too. The pictures below are just a snapshot of that experience. The last time I had been to New Orleans was 10 years earlier when … Continue reading
My bags are packed and I’m ready to go. Hopefully the stomach bug I caught a couple nights ago won’t resurface and force me to reschedule my flight to Paris for the third time. This is the longest stretch I’ve had in Lebanon for a while. Three weeks to be exact. For the most part, … Continue reading
Reality is starting to settle in – it’s a good thing. I just came home to Lebanon yesterday… but that’s not the home I’m writing about. My new home is in Miami, and it didn’t really hit me until I came back there a few days ago from a short assignment in New Orleans. It … Continue reading
It’s been one month since my last post… The biggest reason for that: I’ve been busy closing one long chapter in my life and opening another. After spending well over 20 years in Washington DC, I finally moved out… to Miami. Sometime soon, I’ll be writing on what I do and don’t miss about the DMV. … Continue reading
