Pondering the likelihood that this is my final #mardigras as a New Orleans resident, and wanting to hold onto the moment, this float (that I've photographed many times in years past) spoke to me today. No photo sets up today. 😀 #nolasky #photography #sonyphotography #parade

Happy Fat Tuesday, all.

Four shots from Druids and a linked gallery below. I'm back to experimenting with wordpress. I'll be ditching zenfolio soon and I'm trying to decide to host my own blog again or just push out Lightroom galleries. #nolasky #mardigras #sonyphotography #photography www.blog.flowstateneworleans.com

As previously mentioned, I couldn't grab a good photo spot for Iris, but I did take a few colorful photos and cropped them with the hope of improving them. I think there are 17 in the linked blog gallery. www.flowstateneworleans.com/blog/bp/iris... #nolasky #mardigras #sonyphotography #photography

#PortlandME - #JazzAtTheMovies film series

"#WMPG’s Jazz At The Movies team are pleased to present our first film of the 2026 season, the documentary 'Music Pictures: #NewOrleans'.

"Beautifully shot and recorded, the film is a loving portrait of four Crescent City jazz, soul, and blues legends, and a celebration of 100 years of New Orleans musical history.

"Directed by New Orleans native filmmaker #BenChace, 'Music Pictures: New Orleans' is a vibrant documentary exploring the rich musical heritage of New Orleans. It showcases the city’s diverse musical landscape, from legendary #JazzClubs to lively street performances, highlighting the influences of #Creole, #AfricanAmerican, and #French cultures, and how historical events, like #MardiGras and #HurricaneKatrina, have shaped the city’s music scene. Through interviews with local musicians and historians, Music Pictures: New Orleans reveals music’s central role in the city’s cultural and social fabric.

"The film showcases four New Orleans music legends: Grammy-winning #IrmaThomas 'The Soul Queen of New Orleans' ; #BennyJonesSr., the leader and drummer of the world renowned #TremeBrassBand; guitarist #LittleFreddieKing, the 'Last King of the Blues'; and the pianist and educator, #EllisMarsalisJr., patriarch of the famed jazz family, in what would be his last concert before his death. Music Pictures: New Orleans follows each of the four artists, one by one, as they talk about their lives, rehearse, and record a new album in the studio in early 2020s. By combining vintage footage with live interviews and rare backstage access, this film provides a wonderful snapshot of New Orleans as the home for so much great American music, from #soul to #BrassBand to jazz and #TheBlues. What better way to get ready for the Mardi Gras season!"
