I thought I could just point you to a website that contained all manner of information about Longwood, the famous octagonal house in Natchez MS, before going into this post. Unfortunately, though, I could not find an official source. Maybe it was never finished? Oh wait, here you go: Longwood tour information, via the website …
I am leaving town for a quick jaunt across Central Louisiana and Southwest Mississippi tomorrow. I wanted to get some photos out from the past weekend before heading out, though, so here goes. These ere all taken at a little event in suburban Jackson MS, in Ridegeland MS specifically, called the Township Jazz Festival. There …
Finally! It’s an (overdue) post with photos I took as a volunteer for the 13th Annual Crossroads Film Festival, which was held the weekend before last–April 13-15, specifically -in the Jackson MS metro area. Most of the movies were screened in a newer cineplex in Madison, a Jackson suburb, with a few others showing at the …
Another day, another cupcake post? Well, at least another month. In any case, even though I’m without the beloved macro/portrait lens right now–it’s in the Lens Hospital, sad to say–I have shown that I can still take them! This one was taken for a friend’s birthday. She wanted cupcakes, but I couldn’t be around for …
As seen “The Help,” although you didn’t see all the cheerfully offbeat-to-off-kilter gift items around in that movie: Brent’s Drugs of Jackosn MS or, more formally, Brent’s Drugs, Soda Fountain and Gifts, located in the Fondren area, Jackson’s official arty ‘hood. I went here with a friend yesterday, and brought the camera along for the …
More smart phone shots! It is often said in photography circles that the best camera is the one you have. Well, I’m not so sure that my phone (an HTC Thunderbolt) always makes for the best camera. It wasn’t, however, as if I would ever take my big DSLR out with me while out with …
Flower photos are cliche, sure. But it’s looking as if we won’t have much of a Spring here this year, so … In any case, I tried to do a little something different here by taking flower shots at night–as in, around 10:45 p.m., on a Sunday. I took these just outside of my residence …
First, let it be noted: This photo site does not endorse political candidates. I do, however, have graduate training in political science and public administration, and have taught three college courses in the American Presidency. And I love photography. It was only a matter of time before I combined all this in one, if not …
Actually, I think a headline of ”cameraphone vol. 75″ would be more accurate, since I have put together cameraphone posts here before. This is the first such post for this newer iteration of Cosmic Ray’s, however. Please note that I have a love-hate affair with my smart phone’s camera. It is said that the best …
Before it gets too late, I wanted to post a few photos from Mardi Gras Day 2012. I had other business to take care of, and photo negatives to scan (will show up shortly), so I could not get to this right away. It didn’t hurt to wait just a bit to see what my …
