Jackson Square New Orleans, LA 2011
Just came back from an awesome trip to New Orleans. Who doesn't love the food and atmosphere of the French Quarter? I ate at some fabulous restaurants - http://www.arnaudsrestaurant.comhttp://www.muriels.com who claim a resident ghost, http://www.tujaguesrestaurant.com second oldest restaurant in New Orleans, http://www.stanleyrestaurant.com for comfort food at breakfast or lunch.

This week is a busy one. I am putting the final touches on my solo show opening next week at The Germantown Community Theatre.  http://www.germantowncommunitytheatre.org

I'll be showcasing my infrared photography series from the Bahama Islands. Traveling to the Bahamas in December of 2010 provided me with a wonderful series of images that I know you will love.  I hope this series takes you out of the cold and into the sun, at least in our minds!

The other part of the exhibit is promoting Breast Cancer Awareness in our community. I have photographed 8 women whom are survivors of breast cancer and their 16 x 20 portraits
will be displayed along with their bio.
Here are a few of my lovely and strong women survivors.
Please come out to see The Dixie Swim Club at The Germantown Community Theatre runs Feb 25- March 13 and take a look at my work in the lobby while you are there.  I will be attending the show on March 5th. Please join me!

The play is sponsored by Baptist Memorial Hospital.
